Business Leadership and the Lessons from Sport Zusammenfassung

Business Leadership and the Lessons from Sport H. Westerbeek

Sport represents a very intense and dynamic form of competition for individuals and for teams. Many of the themes of business, including leadership, teamworking, mentoring and coaching, strategy, innovation, etc. occur in sport in a very acute and focused way and will determine success or failure. With the use of compelling international examples the authors show how sport provides crucial leadership lessons for business.

Business Leadership and the Lessons from Sport Bewertungen

'A wealth of sporting anecdotes provides readers with a funnel to refine and communicate their thoughts and ideas about leadership off the field. There are also some terrific sports stories such as the controlled egos in the 1992 US men's basketball team. If you like to communicate on leadership and teamwork via sporting analogies (as I do) then this book provides a wealth of material.' - Michael O'Keeffe, The Australian Financial Review

'Normally we would run a four-minute mile to avoid any book that draws business lessons from sports. 'Business as sport' is the second most common cliche in management, right on the heels of anything comparing business to a military battlefield. Westerbeek and Smith's contribution, however, is both intelligent and readable; it confronts the well-worn analogies that we've all heard, and neatly surmounts them.' - Harvard Business Review
