On WINNING MATCH: Leadership for Game Changers

★★★★★

“the best-people-even-better idea rewired how I lead”

“I used to put most of my energy into fixing weak spots on my team and just hoped my strongest people would run on their own. Marcolli’s point is that your best people need the most deliberate leadership, and that stuck with me. I sat down with my top performer last week and had the kind of conversation the book describes, with real questions instead of a status update. She told me it was the first time in two years she felt I understood what drove her. His path from professional footballer to advising global CEOs gives the sports stories real weight, and they never feel like decoration. I’ve already passed my copy to a fellow director.”
