The making of a leader : what elite sport can teach us about leadership, management and performance
Young, Tom2020
Book
We are fascinated with the makeup of leaders, from polar explorers and politicians to CEOs and sports coaches. What is it about these people that enables them not only to reach the pinnacle of their profession, but to create a culture of sustained success and bring others with them on that journey? Performance psychologist Tom Young has worked closely with teams and individuals at the highest level of professional sport. He has seen how leaders in these high-pressure environments communicate, how they handle pressure, maintain focus and respond to challenges. In this book, Young shares the practical principles of sustained elite performance and shows how any individual can add value to their own business or organisation by applying these insights.
