by Jeff Benedict
Benedict's inside history of the Patriots dynasty: Kraft, Belichick and Brady, how three strong men held together for twenty years and why it ended. Reads like a novel and is sharp about ego and succession.

Three things you will actually use
- Dynasties need three strong roles: owner, operator, performer.
- Ego management is the hidden job.
- Plan the ending before it arrives.
Do this first
Read the final chapters and note how succession was mishandled.
Our verdict
Novelistic dynasty study.
