Surrender The Outcome is a leadership fable that follows the progress of a longtime basketball coach, Mick, through his traditional, transactional approach to coaching to a new refreshing, impactful, and transformational approach to life. Along the way he receives great wisdom from those closest to him.

Mick is your typical coach to start: focused on winning the next game while appearing to maintain complete control of his team. In his chase for wins, he wins some and loses some like all coaches. Regardless of the record, Mick always finishes the season frustrated and disappointed that his team couldn''t squeeze out a few more wins.

Through many failures and much self-reflection, Mick moves beyond the race for wins and discovers a better way to gauge success-on the court and in life. As he begins to focus on his values outside the coaching box, Mick realizes this new approach isn''t only better for his team but also for his family and personal life.

Mick''s journey towards his own definition of success leads him to the realization of a powerful process that can transform the impact of all leaders regardless of their area of influence. By focusing on gaining self-awareness
