Reviews"The best teams don't just happen. They're built deliberately, strategically, and with care. With tactics and stories drawn from Olympic gold medalist Kristine Lilly's legendary 23 years and 354 international appearances with the US Women's National Soccer Team, this book will help you assemble your own 'powerhouse.'" -- Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook; founder of LeanIn.Org and OptionB.Org, "Research by the Center for Creative Leadership confirms the critical importance of teamwork and collaboration in driving performance - and the memorable stories in this book show us how to bring these skills to life. In exploring the links between leadership and world-class soccer, the authors inspire us to put their insights to use right away with our own teams." -- John R. Ryan, President and CEO, Center for Creative Leadership, "Kristine Lilly and I share sustained careers with teams who have consistently achieved--hers at the World Cup and Olympics and mine at the Super Bowl. While individuals focus on their own peak performance, a championship-caliber team needs high performing teamwork. If you didn't already know why the United States Women's National Soccer Team consistently wins, you will after reading this book." -- Tom Brady, six time Super Bowl Champion, New England Patriots, "In business as in sports, it is thrilling to beat the competition through superior thinking and execution. Kristine Lilly draws on her remarkable history of winning at the highest level of world sport to distill the critical lessons for team formation and performance as the basis of enduring success." -- Dr. Gary W. Loveman, former Chairman and CEO, Caesars Entertainment; Senior Lecturer in Finance, Graduate School of Business, Harvard University, " Powerhouse shows us how teams perform under pressure - whether it is in sports, in business or in life. Kristine Lilly is a superstar on and off the field and she has crafted a strong read on how champions adjust and adapt to build a winning team." -- Billie Jean King, Founder of founder of the Women's Tennis Association, Women's Sports Foundation, and the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative, "With engaging anecdotes and timely advice, Kristine Lilly and her coauthors capture how the values of sports, especially teamwork, apply to anyone leading organizations. Powerhouse provides a winning game plan from one of our greatest champions." -- Adam Silver, Commissioner of the National Basketball Association (NBA); No. 1 most influential person in sports according to Sports Business Journal (2016), "Our Olympic gold medalist Women's National Basketball team knows the teamwork tactics that the Women's National Soccer team demonstrates in Powerhouse. The lessons in this book will help your team reach its high performing potential. Lilly and Gillis stretch your understanding of what effective teamwork really means and provide an actionable guide on how you can turn your teamwork possibilities into gold medal winning probabilities!" -- Geno Auriemma, United States women's national basketball team coach, winner of World Championships (2010, 2014) and Olympic Gold medals (2012, 2016), "When I was CEO, our team grew Calvin Klein's global retail sales from $2.8 to $7.7 billion in ten years. The workplace is not a place for mediocrity or settling. You need team members showing up every day to win, to do their best, to succeed, and to come out ahead. When team members find 'A Great Fit,' they find a place where they belong, where their talents are both fully expressed and needed, and where they can serve the greatest number of people. Lilly, Gillis and Gillis capture timeless principles that will accelerate any team towards success!" -- Tom Murry, CEO, Calvin Klein; author of A Great Fit, "When Kristine Lilly played at North Carolina, her coach Anson Dorrance called her the fire chief, because wherever there was a trouble spot on the field, he could put Kristine and she would put out the fire. It takes great leadership skills to do that at any age, and she shares her insight and techniques to accomplish that in Powerhouse. " -- Mack Brown, National Champion collegiate football coach, "Teams are essential for business success, but they contain tension. How can a leader foster individuals' talents and engagement while simultaneously directing their potentially divergent trajectories toward a shared goal? Lilly and Gillis build from the compelling case of a gold medal sports team that accomplished this integration of individual and group, and they spell out concrete tactics for building similar teams in your organization." -- Dr. Stanton Wortham, Donovan Dean at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College, "As a US Army General, I personally experienced the importance of high-performing teamwork during 36 years of service. Whether in Vietnam or Desert Storm, our units, from platoons to much higher headquarters, needed to execute. Lilly and Gillis capture timeless teamwork tactics that will accelerate any team towards success! While on a non-profit board, I worked with Dr. John Gillis, Jr. on strategy development. This is a critical teamwork tactic needed to flourish in the business world, and Powerhouse captures many more. This is a must-read this year--by each and every person who is on a team." -- General James T. Hill, United Stated Army
