Foreword by Eric Yuan
Leaders set the tone for culture, and culture sets the tone for people. As each day passes, we increasingly need courageous leadership. So now the question becomes, what makes a great leader?
​
Mountains of books and research have been written on the traits, skills, and qualities that provide this answer. In my mind, one book easily rises to the top: The Power of Playing Offense.
50+ Ways You Can Play Offense
As the ‘Why’ Coach inside the San Francisco 49ers front office, one question kept Epstein up at night: Who is coaching the coaches? He noticed a crucial gap in the development of leaders; they were expected to lead others before they learned to lead themselves. In an effort to fill this gap in the market, Epstein curated this interactive playbook for leaders like you, with more than 50 activities, tools, and strategies you can implement on Monday morning—so we can all level up as leaders, transform our teams, and build a life and career of fulfillment and impact.

Playing Offense
The Five Pillars
Over a fifteen-year run in the business of professional sports, Paul became immersed in the world of high-performance teams and the impact of leadership on people and culture. As he began to understand the mindsets, habits, and practices required to show up and perform at our best, Paul was fascinated by what separated the elite from the pack—and how those elites led others to do the same. Over time, he recognized how these all-too-rare leadership skills could materialize into transformations. Paul then seized the opportunity to implement and refine these practices, and has now curated these lessons and insights into an innovative framework of five pillars— which you’ll soon learn in great detail.
