Every elite team I know of is at least at level 4, some hit 5 very regularly. The audio book is free from Zappos.com. Here's the link. Might be a good listen while teams are traveling to away regionals.

Linchpin: This one is more directed at the individual but I find it's style very effective. Read/Listen to Tribal Leadership first but I like a lot of the ideas in this book.
Thank you for reminding me about Tribal Leadership. A few of us on 33 read that a couple years ago, because it was passed on to Ike. We in turn passed it on to others. It is one of the first books I read that helped develop my leadership and mentoring abilities. I feel the need for a refresher, and I think I'll reread it over the remainder of Comp Season.
