HBR's 10 Must Reads on Leadership Lessons from Sports : (featuring interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Andre Agassi)

Leadership and management lessons from the sports world.

The world's elite athletes and coaches achieve high performance through inspiring leadership, mental toughness, and direction-setting strategic choices. Harvard Business Review has talked to many of these high performers throughout the years to learn how their success translates to the world of business.

If you read (or listen to) nothing else on management lessons from the world of sports, listen to these ten articles by athletes, coaches, and leadership experts. We've combed through our archive and selected the articles that will best help you drive performance.

This book will inspire you to improve on your weaknesses, not just your strengths; take care of your body for sustained mental performance; increase your confidence and manage your energy before an important event; turn a struggling team around; understand the limits of performance metrics; focus on long-term goals to overcome setbacks; and understand where the analogy of sports and business doesn't work.
