Great stories/lessons on leadership and character。 Lessons can be applied to any type of leadership position in business, sports, and education。 Highly recommended for every coach regardless of sports。

Gonzalo Laborda

Es un libro que bien interpretado puede servir para cualquier aspecto de la vida, deportivo, profesional y/o personal。Recomendable al 100%

I listened to the audiobook version and I struggled with this one。 The idea behind the book is excellent。 I can see why it would have such mass market appeal。 It didn't come together for me though。 I found the points to be somewhat cobbled together, the logic difficult to follow at times and the honestly powerful lessons undercut by oversimplification and digression。It may be that the book just isn't a good fit for audio or personal taste but I'm surprised by the number of times this book was re I listened to the audiobook version and I struggled with this one。 The idea behind the book is excellent。 I can see why it would have such mass market appeal。 It didn't come together for me though。 I found the points to be somewhat cobbled together, the logic difficult to follow at times and the honestly powerful lessons undercut by oversimplification and digression。It may be that the book just isn't a good fit for audio or personal taste but I'm surprised by the number of times this book was recommended to me。 The voice artists' choice to try to impersonate the America, New Zealand and South African accents was more distracting than anything。Pass for me (excuse the pun)。 。。。more

Owen Cottom

Excellent leadership insights。

Carmen

Much too long of a book for lessons that were encapsulated in 1 quote that was repeated throughout the book : “champions do extra。” They plan for succession, they clean up after themselves, they learn from the mistakes, etc。 only giving 2 stars because of the occasional anecdote about the team。 Otherwise, not a worthwhile read。

Brodie Elliott

Enjoyable and insightful read。 Felt a lot of the book was about the author linking many key concepts in other books and life to the culture of the All Blacks。

Grant

One of the best books to read if you are interested in learning more about leadership。 Also provides great insight about the work behind the scenes which has lead and continues to lead the All Blacks to success。

5 World Cups out of 5Essential reading for anyone part of any team。 There are many references to rugby, particularly the All Blacks, which was great as I love rugby (although I don't enjoy the near 20 years Bledisloe dominance over the Wallabies)。 This being said, people who don't enjoy rugby should still read。 The rugby references are quick, but the lessons and words of wisdom contained within are beyond useful。 5 World Cups out of 5Essential reading for anyone part of any team。 There are many references to rugby, particularly the All Blacks, which was great as I love rugby (although I don't enjoy the near 20 years Bledisloe dominance over the Wallabies)。 This being said, people who don't enjoy rugby should still read。 The rugby references are quick, but the lessons and words of wisdom contained within are beyond useful。 。。。more

Too much on team culture in general and not near enough about the All Blacks team。

Craig Lock

Recommended to me, but still have to read this book about the culture of perhaps "the world's winningest sports team"Just a reminder to self"the worlds slowest reader" (except for sports books)PPS“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion。 Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly。”~ Franz Kafka Recommended to me, but still have to read this book about the culture of perhaps "the world's winningest sports team"Just a reminder to self"the worlds slowest reader" (except for sports books)PPS“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion。 Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly。”~ Franz Kafka 。。。more

Fabricio Rigotto

Shallow but good insightsIt is more a pamphlet than a book。 Has good ideas but lacks the applicability。 It also lacks more details about the all blacks which would enrich story telling。

Arvin Tate

Great book, especially if you're a rugby fan with a keen interest in principles of leadership Great book, especially if you're a rugby fan with a keen interest in principles of leadership 。。。more

Steven Neal

Decent, but you can get most of the book in the last couple of summarizing chapters。

Daniel Bingaman

Great people make great rugby players! The values in this book apply not just to the success behind the All Blacks, but to any individual or organization looking to be the best at what they do。

Shannon

A must read for any coach or leader!

Zoe Routh

A lovely poetic book filled with quotes, stories and principles that uplift and inspire。 I enjoyed it。

Michael Wright

I really enjoyed reading this book and if I hadn’t already read the business books it sprinkles with references to then it would have been even better。 It’s central message of “sweep the sheds” definitely comes across。 Although I would argue Alex Ferguson delivers it more effectively along with other great insights in his book on leadership。

J。Peter Donald

Excellent。 This should be required reading for life and work。

Toby Poplawski

This book is all about the sport of rugby。 It is also about what it takes to be an All Black。 My favourite thing about this story has got to be the red head blue head。 I've learnt many things from this book along with what it takes to be an All Black。 This book is all about the sport of rugby。 It is also about what it takes to be an All Black。 My favourite thing about this story has got to be the red head blue head。 I've learnt many things from this book along with what it takes to be an All Black。 。。。more

Helder Barroso

This was an easy read。15 lessons in leadership and how the All blacks were able to turn into world cup winners by implementing these rules。 There is a carry over from these lessons into other parts of life, some easy to implement, others not so easy, but I took away what I liked about the book。 With almost every book there is going to be something we like and something we don't like, take what suits you and ignore what doesn't。 This was an easy read。15 lessons in leadership and how the All blacks were able to turn into world cup winners by implementing these rules。 There is a carry over from these lessons into other parts of life, some easy to implement, others not so easy, but I took away what I liked about the book。 With almost every book there is going to be something we like and something we don't like, take what suits you and ignore what doesn't。 。。。more

Succinct in Sixteen Self-conduct, building a team and culture prophesied through the lens of the All-Blacks and their success。

Romi Schneider

Me encantó este libro。 Tiene muchas metáforas aplicables a la vida misma。Vale la pena léelo。 Muy ameno。Sobre el liderazgo en la vida, las organizaciones a través de la historia de las Allá Blacks。

Max Overes

I dont think this book teaches you that much about business but it is good for building a team culture

Pduit

This was a great reference book on leadership。 It was full of wisdom that can be referenced so I think of it more as a leadership handbook。

We're born and spend our lives interacting in the game of life in the four domains of reality。At the end of the game, what's valuable and remains is what we did and how we did it。Inspiring book!
