4.0 out of 5 stars Great for leaders and their teams
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2023

This is a book about how to build a team that wins consistently, while embodying strong personal values.

There are few of the show-offs, egoists, tantrum-throwers, and bullies that populate so much of today's dollar-driven sports world. Instead, there are players who want to play on the greatest rugby team ever and are willing to do whatever it takes. Yes, rugby. Because this book is about a team from New Zealand that has dominated the sport since early in the last century.

And, that's what makes the book a good read. Because it's not about the excess and bravado of North American sports. It's about being humble, leaving ego at the door, supporting your teammates, learning what it takes to play on a TEAM instead of as an attention-grabbing star.

At its core, this tries to be a business book - using the team's rules, codes and behaviors to inform business practice. And, for me, that's always a bit of a stretch - because in business there are no hard and fast rules, no fixed positions, or time limits. And, there are women, which changes the dynamics.

Having said that, this is an enjoyable read that is a refreshing change from the coach or super-player sport/business books that are all too often dotting the airport book stores.

3.0 out of 5 stars Structural issues, but pretty good material
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2017

This is a book that often comes up when coaching book recommendations are discussed. That's where I heard about it. I want to stress up front, though, that this in not a coaching book. Amazon at this writing has it listed in Sports Psychology, but that doesn't fit either, to my mind. I think the book description does a pretty good job of saying what it's really about.

"In Legacy, best-selling author James Kerr goes deep into the heart of the world's most successful sporting team, the legendary All Blacks of New Zealand, to reveal 15 powerful and practical lessons for leadership and business."

Focus on that last part about lessons for leadership and business. That is most definitely what the author provides.

As for the rest of it, I have my issues. The description makes it sound like the story of the All Blacks is the core material. In particular, the team's transformation after a period of uncharacteristic under-performance is meant to be the main focus. While that story provides a framework, that's about all. You can perhaps work out the time line of that transition, but it's presented piecemeal. One of my problems with the book was that at points I didn't know where the author was in the All Blacks history when he shared certain stories. It was rather annoying.

Also, the All Blacks are not the only references the author makes. He includes ideas from the likes of Phil Jackson and Bill Walsh as well, in terms of sports. There are a number of non-sports references too.

Obviously, I have no problem with references to all-time great coaches. Sometimes the language of the text is a little too stereotypical of leadership books, and there is too much repetition of certain elements for my taste. Overall, though, the "lessons", concepts, and explanations are quite worthwhile.

Overall, I'd say this is a book worth reading if you go into it with the right set of expectations.

So many times we look at organizational structure and leadership in silos. Whether it be in sport, business, military or teams. This book, demonstrates how best practices are not random nor 'lucky,' but well devised strategic plans. This is an easy, quick read for all of us.
