From the post room to the board room, everyone thinks they can be
the manager. But how do you manage outrageous talent? What do you
do to inspire loyalty from your players? How do you turn around a
team in crisis? What's the best way to build long-term success? How
can you lead calmly under pressure? The issues are the same whether
you're managing a Premier League football team or a FTSE 100
company. Here, for the first time, some 30 of the biggest names in
football management reveal just what it takes. With their every
decision, remark, skill, and success or failure under constant
scrutiny from the media and the fans, these managers need to be the
most adroit of leaders. In The Manager they explain their methods,
give examples of lessons they've learned along the way, and
describe the decisions they make and the leadership they provide.
Each chapter tackles a key leadership issue for managers in any
walk of life and, in their own words, shows how the experts deal
with the challenges they face in an abnormally high-pressure
environment. Offering valuable lessons for business leaders and
fascinating behind-the-scenes insights for football fans, The
