Running the Corporate Offense: Lessons in Effective Leadership from the Bench to the Board Room

byMat Ishbia

Mat Ishbia draws on his experience as a Michigan State basketball player and mortgage-company executive to present leadership as a coordinated team offense. He emphasizes preparation, accountability, speed, clear roles, competitive intensity, and leaders who remain close to the work. Basketball lessons provide the organizing metaphor, but the book focuses on building a corporate culture in which people understand the game plan and support one another's execution. Ishbia argues that consistent habits matter more than motivational speeches and that leaders earn commitment by setting standards, communicating directly, and accepting responsibility for team performance.
