After an astonishing career, soccer coach Sir Alex Ferguson analyzes the pivotal leadership decisions of his time as a manager and, with his friend and collaborator Sir Michael Moritz, draws out lessons for success in both business and life.

"A case study in leadership." —Financial Times


From hiring practices to firing decisions, from dealing with transition to teamwork, from mastering the boardroom to responding to failure and adversity, Leading is as inspiring as it is practical, and a go-to reference for any leader in business, sports, and life.
