About this title

About the Author:

Sebastian Coe is a winner, as his record of achieving success in many different areas of life shows. Sebastian Coe, now Lord Coe of Ranmore, has been a politician, a business leader and the inspirational figurehead of the successful 2012 Olympic bid. He is a life peer, a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire and is vice-president of the International Association of Athletics Federations.

Review:

"Leaders aren't born, says Coe Jr, they're shaped by their environment, role models, ambition, discipline, teamwork. If it sounds like the spiel you get at management training seminars, it is. Coe is a multimillionaire, and this is a guide to winning in business too, but interspersed among the jargon about mission statements and minimalising the variables you do catch glimpses of that crucial bond between father and son.
