Listen to A DIFFERENT WAY TO WIN on Audio

The Expanded Audiobook Edition

Dan Rooney was one of the most influential sports executives of his generation—the man who transformed the Pittsburgh Steelers into one of the National Football League's greatest dynasties and premiere franchises. As a business leader, a philanthropist, a diplomat, and the author of the famous Rooney Rule—the pioneering hiring policy that promotes diverse leadership within the NFL—Dan Rooney was known for his core values, his quiet strength, his effectiveness, and his willingness to talk to and hear from those who disagreed with him.
