Why read it?

1 author picked Winning! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Being a business coach, I am always looking for lessons from the sporting world to help my clients and this book delivered in spades. Woodward's story of how he took a bunch of talented individuals into a World Cup-winning team was gripping from start to end, even if you are not into Rugby. 

I loved his team-ship rules and how talent is only the beginning of building a successful team. It also confirmed that even talented people need to leave the team if they don’t agree to keep to the values of the team.

From Kevin's list on helping build a great business.
