What does it take to lead a team to world-class success over a sustained period of time?
Eddie Jones is one of the few leaders who truly knows. He has coached three different teams to three World Cup finals, and in the five years in charge of the England rugby union team he has won three Six Nations championship titles, including back-to-back championships and the inaugural Autumn Nations Cup.
In this inspirational and straight-talking book, Eddie reveals the secrets behind his extraordinary career and shows how any leader can apply these lessons in any walk of life.
He breaks down the cycle of success into five key areas: kick-off, build, test, perform, refresh. Within these areas he identifies the key elements of culture, identity, preparation, pressure, empowerment, responsibility, failure and legacy, to reveal the ingredients for not only making a great team, but for enjoying sustained success.
He draws on his own vast experience as well as lessons from other areas including companies such as Uniqlo, a US basketball team that hugely over-indexes on its success relative to its size, and Liverpool under Klopp.
Written with Donald McRae, two-time winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, On Leadership is the book for anyone who wants to learn how to build and lead a team to success.
