SynopsisWhat does it take to become one of the most successful coaches in the world? Eddie Jones is one of the most successful sports coaches of all time. After leading three different nations to Rugby World Cup finals, and enjoying a winning record with England of nearly 80 per cent, he knows what it takes to lead and manage top-flight teams. What can sport teach us about leadership? For the first time, Eddie Jones shows just what it takes to be a leader in a high-performance and high-pressure environment, and how these lessons can be applied to every walk of life. Have a voracious ambition to improve every day, As he explains the cycle of success at the heart of his philosophy, Eddie reveals the lessons he has learnt from Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola, as well as from the founder of Uniqlo and Ron Adams from the NBA. He also gives a detailed analysis of his own performance as a coach, including how he gets the best out of the players and coaches around him. Always start with the end in mind, In Leadership, Eddie describes why it takes humour, humility and relentless curiosity to lead an eclectic mix of superstars - from Maro Itoje to James Haskell - to create teams that are relentlessly hungry to win. Drawing on stories from nearly thirty years of coaching, including the 2003, 2007, 2015 and 2019 World Rugby campaigns, and the full story of England's 2021 Six Nations campaign, Leadership is the ultimate rugby book about what it takes to be the best.

Eddie Jones is one of the few leaders who truly knows. He has coached three different teams to three World Cup finals, and in the five years in charge of the England rugby union team he has won three Six Nations championship titles, including back-to-back championships and the inaugural Autumn Nations Cup. In this inspirational and straight-talking book, Eddie reveals the secrets behind his extraordinary career and shows how any leader can apply these lessons in any walk of life. He breaks down the cycle of success into five key areas: kick-off, build, test, perform, refresh. Within these areas he identifies the key elements of culture, identity, preparation, pressure, empowerment, responsibility, failure and legacy, to reveal the ingredients for not only making a great team, but for enjoying sustained success. He draws on his own vast experience as well as lessons from other areas including companies such as Uniqlo, a US basketball team that hugely over-indexes on its success relative to its size, and Liverpool under Klopp. Written with Donald McRae, two-time winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, On Leadership is the book for anyone who wants to learn how to build and lead a team to success.
