About the Book

All business is a type of team sport. In team sports the coach is intimately involved in developing athletes, squads and teams. They are a prime driver in creating the necessary high performance environment that will enable athletes to thrive and deliver the very best performance they can. There is much that business, especially leaders, can learn from their methods and techniques. Leading High Performance shows how the principles of sports coaching, training, sports science and psychology offer tremendous opportunities for driving high performance in all businesses. It looks at ways in which high performance is achieved in sport and describes, using examples, how this approach develops individuals, encouraging them towards high performance. It then analyses the most relevant ideas and techniques, converting them into easily applicable business models and tools.

Review :
"The author blends 40 years of international business experience with his knowledge of sports coaching. In doing so he brings new and fascinating insights to creating high performance environments. His examination of why most organisations remain average is similarly fascinating. While this book initially draws on the world of sport and coaching it is without doubt focused on business. In showing how any organisation can become a high performance one he provides genuinely new concepts and models that can be applied to any business. This book is essential reading for any leader or aspiring leader seeking to avoid 'average' and wishing to create the high performance organisation."Andy Kerswill Andy is the Director of Engineering at British Airways There are lots of books out there about lessons from sport or other domains for organizational leadership. What lends this one credibility is that the author has decades of experience as both business leader and sports coach. This is the most in-depth comparison you'll find between how sports coaches get results out of their teams, and the status quo that we see today inside most corporate and public organizations. Bottom line: there is plenty of opportunity for organizational leaders to foster substantially higher engagement and performance with their people by adopting some practices from sports coaching.Karen Lindquist Director Organizational Development Solutions Management Centre Europe
