Alex Ferguson Libri

This celebratory and inspiring autobiography chronicles the remarkable career of the greatest manager in British soccer history. Over four years, Alex Ferguson reflects on his journey from his early days in Govan's tough shipyard areas to his retirement after 27 years at Manchester United, where he led the team to its 13th Premier League title. Widely regarded as a legendary figure, Ferguson witnessed significant changes at the club, yet the quality of his league-winning squads remained a constant source of success, including a second Champions League victory in 2008. He cultivated a purposeful and inviting culture at Manchester United that has endured over time. Ferguson discusses navigating these changes and the evolution of Manchester United into a global sports powerhouse. He shares poignant farewells to players like Roy Keane and David Beckham, recounts the process of building a new Champions League side around stars like Ronaldo and Rooney, and reflects on intense rivalries with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and City. Additionally, he delves into the psychology of management and reveals his passions and interests beyond soccer, offering a comprehensive look at his extraordinary life and career.

This is the autobiography of Alex Ferguson - he runs the Manchester United Football players with a rod of iron, but is respected for his managerial style and for the way he cares for the welfare of his players.

What does it take to lead a team to world-class success over a sustained period of time? Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the few leaders who truly knows. In his 38 years in management, Sir Alex won an astonishing 49 trophies and helped grow Manchester United into one of the biggest commercial brands in the world. In this inspirational and straight-talking new book, Sir Alex reveals the secrets behind his record-breaking career. LEADING is structured around the key skills that Sir Alex values most highly. It includes subjects we immediately associate with his managerial style: Discipline, Control, Teamwork and Motivation. But it also addresses subjects that are less obvious but no less important when seeking success: Delegation, Data Analysis and Dealing with Failure. Written with the investor Sir Michael Moritz, a longstanding friend of Sir Alex, LEADING is packed with insight, wisdom, humour and honesty. The individual stories inevitably concern themselves with football, and the phenomenal success that came along the way, but the lessons can be applied by anyone. Whether you run a business, teach in a classroom, or work in a small team, LEADING will help you become a better leader.
