Legacy.

In our Physical Education Student Leadership (PESL) class our teacher has been reading the book 'Legacy, What the All blacks can teach us about the business of life' by James Kerr to us as information to bring into our school work and our coaching sessions. In the book 'Legacy' the author James Kerr goes into great depth about the legendary sporting team The All Blacks and 15 of their effective lessons for leadership. The book talks about how the all blacks discipline themselves, how they present themselves to the public, support the public and communicate with the public and themselves etc. But as you can see its mostly about their image and discipline. The book also talks a lot about the business behind the all blacks.

Here is a link to buy the book and an image to potentially widen your knowledge about the all black and just show you a different perspective to the All Blacks:

    Kia ora Cyla,
    Thanks for sharing your review of the book Legacy. It sounds like a really good read and I think after reading your blogpost I am going to download this book and read it on my Kindle. Effective lessons for leadership is something we all need to understand more in our lives. There are so many times when we are leading other people, both in our personal and professional lives, and we need to work hard on being the best we can be. What was the biggest idea you took away from this book?

    Kia ora Cyla,
    This looks like a really interesting book about the business of life. It is great to be able to learn from other people, especially if they have done something really well. I think the All Blacks have been very successful as sports people and in the business of life generally. I found this extract from the book: https://www.nbr.co.nz/article/book-extract-legacy-dc-155764
    Even a quick read gives something useful: OODA loop - Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. This can be used in lots of situations.
