The captain class

"Walker starts with one of the most hotly debated questions in sports: What are the greatest teams ever--particularly those that sustained success over a long period of time. He devised a formula to compare the achievements of teams from leagues all over the world, and after painstakingly profiling thousands of them, produced a comprehensive, unbiased list of the 16 best... At that point, Walker became obsessed with another, more complicated question: What did these teams have in common? ... There was a very specific kind of leader at the center of these teams, a force that drove them to greatness, and they all shared eight specific characteristics."--Provided by publisher.
