The Champion’s Code: Building relationships through integrity and accountability
Ross has spent years studying what separates championship teams from the rest, interviewing more than 1,000 professional athletes and coaches. What he discovered is simple but powerful. The same traits that drive winning teams in sports are the same ones that drive high performing organizations.
