Abstract
:
"This book is about the lessons for business leadership that can be found on the sporting field of play. It is not intended as a recipe book offering quick, "bake at home" solutions, but is built upon the premise that while leadership is complex, its execution can benefit from new ways of thinking about and looking at the subject. The nature of sport offers such a view."--Jacket.
