Publisher's Summary:
After an astonishing career - first in Scotland and then over 27 years with Manchester United Football Club - Sir Alex Ferguson delivers Leading, in which the greatest soccer coach of all time will analyze the pivotal leadership decisions of his 38 years as a manager and, with his friend and collaborator Sir Michael Moritz, draw out lessons anyone can use in business and life to generate long-term transformational success.
From hiring practices to firing decisions, from dealing with transition to teamwork, from mastering the boardroom to responding to failure and adversity, Leading is as inspiring as it is practical and a go-to reference for any leader in business, sports, and life.

A must read
Take a glimpse of the greatest sporting team on earth through the boss himself
This autobiography hits the ground running. The Scottsman reading through the chapters adds the finesse to an outstandingly well written book. When you get to look at how United have functioned under Sir Alex Ferguson for over two decades you really begin to ask yourself if you've even remotely pushed yourself to your abilities. The success Sir Alex has received is clearly not by luck. Every move, every instruction, every thought is blended with emotion, desire, courage and patience. I finished the ten hour long audio book in a day. It's been fantastic. What a man... what a manager! Glory Glory Man United!
Very interesting if you are interested in The Gaffer
I hoped that this book would be about leadership and not as much about Fergie's story as a manager. I listened to his autobiography and honestly, despite enjoying this book, didn't see much difference between this book and it.
If you have read or listened to the autobiography, you won't miss much in skipping this one. It is a good listen but you won't get much out of it if you've already gotten his autobiography. He does make some comparisons to business leadership and football management but they are more like "by the way" types of comparisons.
I am not disappointed by this book though. I am a huge admirer of Sir Alex Ferguson and am always interested in learning about him and Manchester United. I just wish there had been more to learn.
The narration is great except for the epilogue. I gave up listening to it after about 30 minutes, especially since it seemed to only be summarizing what was mentioned in the book. That narrator had a very dry way of speaking.
All in all, not disappointed but not raving about it either.
Fantastic
A great listen for coaches rather a fan of MU or not. A great book that taught me a lot!
Solid lessons from a football legend
Easy read without much jargon. Got a lot more interested in football after reading this.
