What does it take to lead a team to world-class success over a sustained period of time? Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the few leaders who truly knows.

This book reveals the secrets behind his record-breaking career. This book is structured around the key skills that Sir Alex values most highly. It includes subjects we immediately associate with his managerial style: discipline, control, teamwork and motivation. But it also addresses subjects that are less obvious but no less important when seeking success: delegation, data analysis and dealing with failure. This book is packed with insight, wisdom, humour and honesty. The individual stories inevitably concern themselves with football, and the phenomenal success that came along the way, but the lessons can be applied by anyone. Whether you run a business, teach in a classroom, or work in a small team, this book will help you become a better leader ER -
