"Johnson clearly outlines the opportunity business leaders have to learn from sports. Given sports very public journey through media coverage, they provide many relevant case studies that can be applied across broader business settings. The coverage of exiting the pandemic for example provides many such learnings - capital management, financial strength, the need for agility and flexibility for a variety of risks and opportunities that have to be balanced and managed. Tim Ford Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Treasury Wine Estates The reason you hear business leaders use sporting metaphors is because they work. But Johnson goes further by looking at which sports, sporting leagues and businesses have best navigated the trying circumstances of the pandemic to provide new insights and new anecdotes for every leader to use. Robert Hillard Consulting Leader Deloitte Asia Pacific One of my go-to sporting analogies is ""where is the puck going?"" which is used in ice hockey to encourage players to move to where the puck is going to be rather than descend on where the puck currently can be seen. It is the same in the tech sector. Look for where the gaps in the market will be in five years time, don't try to build for today, you will never catch up. There are many strong sporting anecdotes in this book that can be applied in the broader business setting. Peter James Chair and Non-Executive Director Multiple listed companies."
