Succeed Under Pressure

Succeed Under Pressure

by Alex Ferguson (Foreword), RakeshSondhi (Contributor), Gary Bailey (Author)

Synopsis

Succeed under Pressure is based on Gary Bailey's highly successful business talks, which are largely inspired by Sir Alex Ferguson's leadership abilities as manager of Manchester United. Gary is that rare breed - a footballer with an MBA from Oxford - and as such has a unique view on one of the most pressurized businesses in the world: top-flight English football. In this book, Gary shares the straightforward, no-nonsense business lessons he has learnt over the years, which include the general skills needed to be successful in sales, team-building, performing under pressure and leadership in an easily accessible, humorous and informative manner. It includes a number of personal stories from Gary's time at Manchester United, which should appeal to football fans and business people alike, as will the humour injected by coauthor Dan Nicholl. This is a must-read for anyone in business, no matter what their position or what industry they're in.
