Uncommon Favor: A Leadership Masterclass from Coach Dawn Staley
Every now and then, a book lands in your hands at just the right moment. Surprisingly, this was an airport grab while waiting for a delayed flight. I had no expectation, just interested in hearing her story. That book is Uncommon Favor by Coach Dawn Staley.
I thought it was going to be a sports story from a great Coach, but what I got was a complete recalibration of how I view leadership, purpose, and people.
Coach Staley doesn’t just talk about winning—she talks about why we lead, who we’re leading, and how to build something bigger than ourselves. Her message is crystal clear: take care of people, and the product will take care of itself.
What sets this book apart isn’t just her legendary resume—it’s her faith-based approach, her grounded values, and her consistent commitment to doing the hard things with heart. I saw myself in her words, especially in moments where she reminded readers to stay true to their voice, even in rooms that don’t seem ready for it.
This book didn’t just inspire me—it breathed new life into my leadership. It reminded me that impact isn’t about perfection; it’s about people, vision, and being willing to take risks for the GREATER good. As she states in one quote “The battle isn’t for me. It’s about everyone who comes after me.”
I’ll be re-reading Uncommon Favor. I’ll be gifting it. I’ll be keeping it close. Because every Leader of People can benefit from Coach Staley’s Fearlessness, Faith, and Favor.
