Quiet Leadership: Winning Hearts, Minds and Matches

It’s a wonderful book. I bought it for my son and he loves it.

This book offers valuable insight into a specific leadership style as exhibited by Ancelotti. Some are direct leaders who use a command style when managing people. Others use a quieter, more collaborative and subtle approach that sometimes go against the grain of what the romantic notion of a leader is as formed by pop culture.

Ancelotti is not over-bearing or dictatorial. He compels his players to do the right thing and leads by setting an example as someone who is calm under pressure, slow to anger, and keeps in mind the well-being of the person when navigating the obstacles within the high-pressure and complex world of modern day football management.

This book offers the reader insight into how Ancelotti's leadership style was used throughout his career and provides guidance as to how his techniques can be used at all levels of management.

Between the carrot and the stick approach, Ancelotti's style uses the carrot. Is that he best way? That's up for you to decide, but you will undoubtedly come away with a respect for his style once you read his anecdotes. Best of all, the book contains sections where his former players and colleagues tell you exactly what they think of his style.

It's a must read for every sports coach and manager in any field.

A very easy read.

Ancelotti comes across as a very good coach and an even better person.

His focus on people is admirable.

Loved the read

So much that you can learn from a man like Carletto, all the stories and teachings found in this book I see them useful on how I someday want to manage my team in my specific industry.

Good book written by one of the greatest managers ever; however, it is very repetitive and unnecessarily long. The exact same content could have been delivered with 150 pages instead of 300

About half way through and wow. Not just great leadership advice, but great advice in general. Carlo is truly a wise man

An excellent book; however, for the time spent researching, and the man involved IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LONGER!

For any future leader, this book is ideal to use as a study and learn from and use to grow from. Understand how teams are built and how to deal with staff and the many challenges that arise from managing people.

PRINT QUALITY : 5/5 The page quality is good, pages are thick. The printing is clear and bigger than the novels. Easily readable.

CONTENT : 4.5/5 Don Carlo is a very respected coach and his accolades speak for himself. This book has many interesting stories about his way of coaching, dealing with different clubs, players and staffs. Best thing is that each chapter has a summary which has amazing lessons which are applicable in any job, not just football. Culture, language, communication, respect, ups and downs, everything is included in a very interesting way while keeping in mind not to make any chapter too long.

Overall, it is a great read for all football fans. Must read. :)
