Australia's World Champion Wallabies Coach teams with Kevin Hitchcock to share his success, experiences and thoughts on how to keep one step ahead.
Rod Macqueen's practical philosophy of teamwork and inspiration has taken him to the very top. As a businessman he has successfully built up a multi-million dollar merchandising business. And as coach of Australia's national Rugby Union side, the Wallabies, he has led his team to World Cup and Bledisloe Cup victories, as well as winning the Tri-Nations championship. And he's done it using his own unusual techniques.
Forget the red-faced bellowing cliche of a coach in action. Macqueen's style is so relaxed his players nicknamed him Cones - as in, he must have been out the back having some before the match to stay this cool. This is a bloke who gave each of his great, hulking players a single red rose when they reached the finals of the World Cup, as a way of reminding them to take time out from worrying about what would happen next to enjoy what they'd already achieved.
Those who work with him or are coached by him cannot speak highly enough of Macqueen's abilities to lead, motivate and direct people to success. And now he shares that philosophy, via this book, and shows how anyone can apply it to business or other areas of life in order to succeed.
