About this listen

This audiobook is skilfully and inspiringly read by the author, Damian Hughes.

In The Winning Mindset, Professor Damian Hughes, the acclaimed author of Liquid Thinking and How to Think Like Sir Alex Ferguson, draws on both his lifetime experience and academic background within sport, organization and change psychology to reveal the best ways to create a winning mindset in both personal and professional life.

Having worked with some of the top teams in the UK, and watched some of the best coaches in the country at work, Hughes distils the five keys principles that separate the best coaches and teams from the rest: Simplicity; Tripwires; Emotions; Practical; Stories: STEPS.

The role of a sports-team leader is fascinating, complex and tough. Fantasy football leagues may convince us that success is all about buying players and selecting a team. In reality, it is about creating winning environments – recruiting, developing and nurturing talent, effectively communicating a shared vision with a diverse collection of individuals, delivering on enormous expectations from a range of stakeholders, overcoming significant challenges, handling pressure and staying focused throughout: a set of challenges familiar to leaders in all sectors.

Sometimes the simple things are overlooked due to there simplicity and sometimes you need someone to tell you how it is. That’s what this book does. Lots of insightful tales from well known sporting personalities, well researched and insightful thoughts and practices. Hugely transferable skills to many different practices. I personally read in the hope that I could better lead the team I run in the kitchen retail industry. Lessons learnt definitely and also it felt good to be reassured that a lot of what I was doing already is something that isn’t unique to me/I’m not doing it wrong and now I’ve got a way to make it more efficient.
Thanks, I really enjoyed the book. I expect to read it again and I would recommend the book to anyone from stay at home mam or dad to business mogul.
