Summary: Coach Brendan Suhr is joined by the 51 year NBA veteran executive Pat Williams. In this episode, Pat takes you inside his new book "Character Carved in Stone: The 12 Core Values of West Point that Build Leaders and Produce Success".<br> <br> Overlooking the Hudson River on the campus of the United States Military Academy at West Point are 12 granite benches, each inscribed with a word representing a key leadership virtue: compassion, courage, dedication, determination, dignity, discipline, integrity, loyalty, perseverance, responsibility, service, and trust. These benches remind cadets of the qualities that lead to victory and success, not just on the battlefield, but in all of life.<br> <br> With his signature enthusiasm and insight, Pat Williams shares the incredible stories of West Point graduates who exemplified these traits, from the Civil War to the War on Terror. He shows readers of all backgrounds how to develop these 12 essential virtues in their lives, whether they are in the corporate world, the academic world, the military, the church, or in some other sphere.<br> <br> "I love the fact that Pat Williams has taken the twelve core virtues of West Point and created this new and exciting book. I was taught those virtues and have used them in everything that I have done since my graduation."<br> <br> - Mike Krzyzewski, head men's basketball coach, Duke University<br> <br> All that and more on Episode 151 of the Coaching U Podcast with Coach Brendan Suhr!
