Summary

Carlo Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers of all time, with five Champions League titles to his name. Yet his approach could not be further from the aggressive theatricals favoured by many of his rivals. His understated style has earned him the fierce loyalty of players like David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In Quiet Leadership, Ancelotti reveals the full riveting story of his managerial career - his methods, mentors, mistakes and triumphs - and takes us inside the dressing room to trace the characters, challenges and decisions that have shaped him. The result is both a scintillating memoir and a rare insight into the business of leadership.

Excellent!

Great book for any football fan. Helps you to understand what happens to players and managers and how they make their decisions.

I also think that it is a great read for leaders in any field - but to really enjoy it and take a lot from it, you probably need to have a good knowledge of football.

Unique leadership

This book is a god send for any manager be that football or non football as the references to leadership style transcend every industry

I’m a manager in NHS and Carlos story, out look and quiet successful style fit into my sector.

The accolades he gets from former players, managers and owners give validity to his proven successful record in football. All of the people who talk about Carlo are unimamous in the way that they describe his relaxed, focused, humour and ultimately successful leadership style and habits

His humble and successful leadership style is inspiring to me and any other manager

Great book

Great book about Leadershi through sports

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Great journey through Mr. Ancelotti's carrier as a player and coach. Entertaining stories, well described relationships to player and owners.
If you are tired of ledership books with business examples, this is refreshing how you can enjoy learning with exaples of professional sport.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Quiet Leadership?

creating rules and how to control them

What about Richard Lumsden’s performance did you like?

good voice, great performance

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

it would be a documantary with lot of archives

Any additional comments?

I think I will listen it again

Fantastico

A great book to give you an insight into the career of Ancelotti as both a player and a manager. The book perfectly intertwines the footballing and business worlds and gives you a great perspective on how to conduct yourself and treat those around you (either higher up the chain, or lower down)
