From the publisher

Multiple grand slam tennis champion and entrepreneur, Venus Williams and 46 of her colleagues, friends, and mentors deliver a volume of invaluable wisdom, motivation, and inspiration. Come to Win demonstrates how the leadership lessons from competitive athletics translate into business success. With contributions from a wide range of men and women who reached the very top of their games--including former CEO and bestselling author Jack Welch, fashion designer Vera Wang, actor Denzel Washington, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice--Venus Williams's Come to Win is a book of essential career advice that every aspiring professional, coach, and sports enthusiast should read.

In this collection of powerful lessons from athletes, you'll discover how to apply a champion's mindset to your professional life:

A Champion's Work Ethic: Learn the power of "unspectacular preparation" and "extreme effort" from visionaries like Roger Staubach and entrepreneur Sarina Bratton.
Resilience and Motivation: See how leaders like former CEO Jack Welch and Secretary Condoleezza Rice transformed losses into lessons and maintained the drive to win.
Teamwork and Leadership: Understand how to build and inspire a team from greats like Magic Johnson, who mastered "making assists" on and off the court.
The Competitive Response: Translate the drive to compete into business success with insights from a diverse group of contributors including fashion designer Vera Wang and actor Denzel Washington.

From the rear cover

Combining talent, drive, and hard work, Venus Williams has mastered the game of tennis. How will that drive serve her off the court in her post-tennis career? For inspiration, Venus turned to an esteemed group of business leaders, politicians, and acclaimed artists, all of whom previously played competitive sports, and asked the essential questions: What principles that inspired you toward success as an athlete are helpful in life? In business?

Here, that A-list group of visionaries responds with a useful array of tips woven through anecdotes from their athletic pasts that have been instrumental in their post-sports success. Venus also reflects on what she has learned from her own coaches, including her parents, and how their wisdom contributes to her own remarkable achievements.
