[edit] ART OF CAPTAINCY
Mike Brearley considers the role of captain both on the cricket field, and more broadly, applying the principles of sport captaincy to more general leadership debates. He was one of the first sportsmen to make the link between success in sport and in other areas of our work and personal lives.
A classic work republished to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the momentous Ashes series of 1981 when Mike Brearley led England to victory. In cricket, the role of the captain has been consistently under-rated in recent years. In times where statistics are the fashion, the performance of batsmen and bowlers can readily be presented in terms of averages whereas the contribution of the captain is, by contrast, harder to assess. But in cricket more than any other sport the role of leader is crucial. In this book, Brearley considers the role of captain both on the cricket field, and more broadly, applying the principles of sport captaincy to more general leadership debates. One of the first sportsmen to make the link between success in sport and in other areas of our work and personal lives, Mike Brearley has made a lasting contribution to the wider debate. Mike Brearley is considered one of the England's finest captains ever, whose methods and approach still have resonance today. Will Nasser Hussein, with a captaincy style both admired by and likened to Brearley, be able to lead England to victory once again in this year's Ashes series?
