One of the finest brains in cricket, Mike Brearley delves into the complexities and enduring fascination of the game, the importance of leadership, and the life of a professional sportsman.
<p><b>'The best book on captaincy, written by an expert' - Mike Atherton</b><br><br>Mike Brearley is one of the most successful cricket captains of all time, and, in 1981, he captained the England team to the momentous Ashes series victory against Australia.<br><br>In <i>The Art of Captaincy</i>, his study on leadership and motivation, he draws directly on his experience of man-managing a team, which included a pugnacious Ian Botham and Geoffrey Boycott, to explain what it takes to be a leader on and off the field. Giving an insight into both his tactical understanding of the game, as well as how to get a group of individuals playing as a team in order to get the best out of them, <i>The Art of Captaincy</i> is a classic handbook on how to generate, nurture and inspire success.<br><br>With a foreword by former England player and BBC commentator Ed Smith, to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of its first publication, and an afterword by director Sam Mendes, <i>The Art of Captaincy</i> remains urgently relevant for cricket fans and business leaders alike. Covering the ability to use intuition, resourcefulness, clear-headedness and the importance of empathy as a means of achieving shared goals, Brearley's seminal account of captaincy is both the ultimate blueprint for creating a winning mind set, but also shows how the lessons in the sporting arena can be applied to any walk of personal and professional life.</p>
