Leadership: Lessons from My Life in Rugby

By Eddie Jones and Eddie Jones

Book Overview

England Rugby's head coach gives the full insight into what it takes to be a great leader. 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 National Rugby 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.Breaking 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 and responsibility, failure and legacy, to reveal the key ingredients to not only making a great team, but sustained, improved success.Drawing on his own vast experience, with lessons drawn from companies such as Uniqlo and a US basketball team that hugely over-indexes on its success relative to its size, Liverpool under Klopp, and many others examples, Eddie Jones shows you how to build and lead a team to success.Written with Don McRae, two-time William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, Leadership is the book anyone who wants to learn about sustained success needs to read.
