 Excellent research ignites colorful prose May 24, 2005
By H. Stephens
"Movie Moguel II"
I am an adjunct faculty member teaching MBA courses. I thought this book was not only well researched, but also provides the reader with insight on how to use examples from the Patriots organization and improve your own.
Mr. Lavin does not delve into "macho-jock" rhetoric; but instead, offers the reader with helpful quantitative and qualitative analysis on organizational behavior.

 good stuff Dec 29, 2005
By JYB
"Threadkiller"
I first heard about Mr. Lavin's book from a website full of die hard New England Patriots fans. What interested me was the idea that management techniques could be explained in terms that were both relevant to my experiences (as I am an avid football fan) and accessable. The second was most important because, while I have no business school/management training, I do run tens of millions of dollars worth of work for my company. Going into my latest project, I had been looking to refine my management of finances and personnel. Using this well researched book I was able to understand how a core group within an organization could produce at a sustained high level. Not only was this book a blast to read, but it has also had a profound effect on the way I do business.

Chock full of info Dec 17, 2005
By Euneeta Readit
When I launched into MANAGEMENT SECRETS OF THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS by James Lavin, I knew nothing of football. However, I did know that that the Patriots pulled off two miraculous upsets. I wanted to know exactly how they did that and took a peak at the table of contents. There I found topics such as; Focus on what you control, overcoming adversity, competing and disciplining, and I found out everything I ever wanted to know about Mr. Bill Belichick, the guy who led the team to victory.
I loved this book and although I read it for its information on all things managerial, (the author earned a PhD in economics at Stanford in performance work organization) I thoroughly enjoyed learning all about football. If one is interested in sports history and business sensibilities, this book is surely the best of both worlds! It is a great business gift.

Great Read Dec 15, 2005
By Stephen
I am currently a first year MBA student, and I can safely say that I learned more from this book than I did from just about any class I took during my first semester at B-school. Mr. Lavin does an absolutely brilliant job explaining the success of the Patriots in terms of business management. I have read several books about the Patriots, and I really think this was my favorite because it looked at Coach Belichick and the Patriots as a business organization and not just a football team. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning what it takes to run a top of the line organization.

high school coaches dream Dec 16, 2005
By Robert A. Guyon Jr.
"coachg36"
I am a high school football coach in Connecticut and can clearly say that this book and volume 2 have helped me become a better coach to my players, a better teacher to my students, and a better mentor to my staff. You can not argue with the success of Bill Belichick and his staff, so why not try and soak up everything written about what they have accomplished. I constantly use these books as resources for my teaching and coaching. I have had friends in the coaching profession read the books and improve their programs as well. I hope Mr. Lavin can go out to Notre Dame and start picking Charlie Weis' mind. An outstanding read- something no manager, teacher, or coach should be without.
