Summary
What does it take to lead a team to world-class success over a sustained period of time?Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the few leaders who truly knows. In his 38 years in management, Sir Alex won an astonishing 49 trophies and helped grow Manchester United into one of the biggest commercial brands in the world.
In this inspirational and straight-talking new book, Sir Alex reveals the secrets behind his record-breaking career.
Leading is structured around the key skills that Sir Alex values most highly. It includes subjects we immediately associate with his managerial style: Discipline, Control, Teamwork and Motivation. But it also addresses subjects that are less obvious but no less important when seeking success: Delegation, Data Analysis and Dealing with Failure.
Written with the investor Sir Michael Moritz, a longstanding friend of Sir Alex, Leading is packed with insight, wisdom, humour and honesty. The individual stories inevitably concern themselves with football, and the phenomenal success that came along the way, but the lessons can be applied by anyone. Whether you run a business, teach in a classroom, or work in a small team, Leading will help you become a better leader.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Good insight
But bombastic in places but overall a real good listen. Would have been even better if SAF had read it.

A hero and legend
What an amazing book and insight into a great and meaningful life. Being a united fan made the book powerful enough but being a leader and business owner I took so much from this book and inspired me to continue my journey.

Opportunity to learn from a master
Where does Leading rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is a very easy listen and is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to
Who was your favorite character and why?
Sir Alex is such a fascinating man with an unbelievably good record over his 20 years in management...I enjoyed listening to how he went about achieving his feats
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
It was nice to listen to a Scottish accent as my impersonation of sir Alex is rubbish
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No

Voice changes
At points towards the end of the book a different actor seems to read parts of the book. This is very off putting.
However overall it is an interesting read for a football fan and a leader like me. I will listen again at some point I think.

I love the insight into how he kept at the top for so long and how he is just like anyone else except he was steadfast In his belief that he knew what was right.

Very good and little football 😊
Not being a football fan I was a bit sceptical at first, but there was no need.
Even tho football clubs are mentioned a lot (well that was his life) it’s about the leading and the leaders and leadership at these clubs and others, a good insight to who he respected as great leaders on and off the field.
Also great little words of words wisdom here and there, that he picked up over the years.
Listened to this twice so far back to back and shall be giving it a whirl again 😊😊😊
