Leading

Leading Learning from Life and My Years at Manchester United

After an astonishing career-first in Scotland, and then over 27 years with Manchester United Football Club- Sir Alex Ferguson delivers Leading, in which the greatest soccer coach of all time will analyze the pivotal leadership decisions of his 38 years as a manager and, with his friend and collaborator Sir Michael Moritz, draw out lessons anyone can use in business and life to generate long-term transformational success. From hiring practices to firing decisions, from dealing with transition to teamwork, from mastering the boardroom to responding to failure and adversity, Leading is as inspiring as it is practical, and a go-to reference for any leader in business, sports, and life.

The book looks more like a bunch of stories structured together in the chapters. Liked the Epilogue more than the actual chapters.

This was a pretty great read. Alex Ferguson, the longtime coach of Manchester United, cleverly outlines fundamental principles of leadership and ties them into real world lessons with great players like Ronaldo, Drogba, and others. I also really enjoyed the epilogue by Michael Moritz, tying many of the lessons from Alex to Silicon Valley companies. I will shelve this book as one worth re-reading, and the table of contents frequently reviewed.
