A major new book on leadership by former England manager Gareth Southgate

During his eight years at England, in one of the highest profile roles in the country, Southgate forged a unique management style, combining calm empathy with mental resilience, emotional intelligence and strong accountability.

His leadership at England propelled the national team to its most sustained success in fifty years, reaching the 2018 FIFA World Cup Semi Final and the UEFA Euro 2020 and 2024 Finals. In the process, Southgate revitalised and reshaped the national team's footballing identity.

Southgate’s book draws on the defining moments that shaped his leadership style, principles that informed his decisions, and the resilience that enabled him to perform under the most intense public scrutiny. This is a book that transcends football providing modern day leadership lessons that can apply to any individual, team or organisation.
