About this ebook

Carlo Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers of all time, with five Champions League titles to his name. Yet his approach could not be further from the aggressive theatricals favoured by many of his rivals. His understated style has earned him the fierce loyalty of players like David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In Quiet Leadership, Ancelotti reveals the full, riveting story of his managerial career - his methods, mentors, mistakes and triumphs - and takes us inside the dressing room to trace the characters, challenges and decisions that have shaped him. The result is both a scintillating memoir and a rare insight into the business of leadership.

Ratings and reviews

Very nice read, for people who are in leadership positions not just in football but also in different environments. To be a leader one must be flexible and be willing to learn new ideas about that particular field you in.

Good reads. Carlo's approach in leadership is unique and will be a good inspiration / reference for quiet, introvert people that have the aspiration to lead.
