From the post room to the board room, everyone
thinks they can be the manager. But how do you manage
outrageous talent? What do you do to inspire loyalty
from your players? How do you turn around a team in
crisis? What’s the best way to build long-term success?
How can you lead calmly under pressure? The issues are
the same whether you’re managing a Premier League
football team or a FTSE 100 company.
Here, for the
first time, some 30 of the biggest names in football
management reveal just what it takes. With their every
decision, remark, skill, and success or failure under
constant scrutiny from the media and the fans, these
managers need to be the most adroit of leaders. In
The Manager they explain their methods, give
examples of lessons they’ve learned along the way, and
describe the decisions they make and the leadership they
provide.
Each chapter tackles a key leadership issue
for managers in any walk of life and, in their own
words, shows how the experts deal with the challenges
they face in an abnormally high-pressure environment.
Offering valuable lessons for business leaders and
fascinating behind-the-scenes insights for football
fans, The Manager is an honest, accessible and
unprecedented look at the day-to-day work of these
