John Buchanan is the most successful cricket coach in history ż a remarkable achievement given that when he was appointed in October 1999 to replace Geoff Marsh, many people doubted him due his lack of Test-level experience. He sure proved the critics wrong.

Prior to coaching Australia, John coached Middlesex in the UK as well as five successful years at the helm of the Queensland Bulls, taking them to two Sheffield Shield titles and two Mercantile Mutual Cup wins. In his first book, he brings his innovative style, his leadership principles and his visionary drive to the wider community. He has written a book not only for the sports fan, but for anyone who would like an insight into achieving real, longlasting success, whatever their field of endeavour. Each chapter is short and punchy and written in an entertaining, accessible way - perfect for the busy employee or employer, parent or coach who wants easy to- grasp, 'take-homeż value.
