Product Description
The definitive account of the 2001-2004 New England Patriots. Analyzes the many "success factors" underlying the team's two Super Bowl victories in three seasons. And entertains with humorous, insightful quotations from players, coaches, executives, and owners. "Management Secrets" is essential reading for any serious fan of Bill Belichick's Patriots and anyone seeking to build a great organization. The book is based on analysis of literally thousands of articles (and six books) that have been written about Bill Belichick's Patriots. As the book explains, "The Patriots' 'secrets' are no secrets at all. They are time-tested management fundamentals... well applied and well executed."

 Managemne Secrets of the New England Patriots February 8, 2010
William J. Krejci
This overview of the management style of the New England football organization gives the reader tangible infromation concerning the formation of their organization from top to bottom.The formula used in the the building of this football dynasty can be used by any business, school or organization that must encompass a number of intregal pieces for success. It is a outline for winners. One of the best managerial books that I have read in my 35 years of coaching and sports administration.

I'm sure this is a great book and everything, but I think I'll wait for the video.
 Written like a college research paper February 23, 2008

Just a bunch of quotes from other articles and resources about the Patriots. There are literally over 2,000 listings in the Endnotes.
I'm not through the whole book yet, but I'm beginning to wonder if he even talked to one soul at the Patriots himself. Looks like he just used others' research and consolidated it into one place like a lame college paper.
Avoid and wait for a book by someone who has inside info or by Belichick himself.
superb book ! August 29, 2007

this is THE BIBLE for all football fans. This book should be read by everyone in management in the world of business as well as by executives in the NFL and other professional and college sports teams.James lavin shows the reader HOW THE PATRIOTS ORGANIZATION THINKS!!!!! If you want to learn how to build a winner in sports as well as business I RECCOMENT THIS BOOK IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY!! P.s. reading volume II currently and lavin's second book is as good as the first i can't wait for the third volume.

I don't know about you, but this Patriots fan can't re-live those days enough. And this book is packed, cover-to-cover, with the details.
Sure, as a manager and Patriots fan, I've read it all before too. But as a beer drinker, it never occurred to me to decide "hey, I've done it before, I think I'll stop."
Bring on the other volumes!
