| book description |

The former Springbok captain and current chief executive at Saracens RFC draws on his own personal experiences at the top of his sport to introduce an innovative way of thinking as far as business practices are concerned. Success in management and success in sport are derived from the same basic principles. Top performance in both depends on the key elements of maximizing your potential and overcoming the barriers to achieving your goals. Focusing on his own personal experiences and the motivational principles of which sporting excellence is founded, and applying them to the business arena, South Africa's Rugby World Cup winning captain provides a primer for career success. He goes on to challenge the individual to think differently about what he or she is doing and how to go about resolving issues with the help of the ""3Ds"" - discipline, dedication and determination. Family values, the role of partnerships and the crucial skill of managing support are other areas that are examined, as are the potential pitfalls encountered along the way. For business managers torn between the spreadsheets they should be studying and the sports pages they would rather be reading, this is a book that cuts through the jargon and provides simple answers.
