The Sports Plus take
Leadership lessons from the All Blacks.
James Kerr went inside New Zealand's All Blacks, one of the most successful teams in any sport, and boiled their culture down to 15 lessons on leadership. The best known is 'sweep the sheds': the stars clean up the locker room themselves. Chapters are short and built around memorable phrases. It's written for business readers, but it works just as well for coaches and captains.
