It's All About LEADING As Sir Alex Ferguson Readies To Talk About Leadership

by Benson Agoha | Public Lecture

Finally, the public are about to get the chance to hear Sir Alex Ferguson talk about leadership outside the football pitch - the way they have expected.

It is still a mystery to many, how he managed to achieve the extraordinary feet that saw him keep Manchester United in a dominant position in the Premier League - for such a long time.
 
He managed Manchester United from 1986 to 2013. And by the time he retired, after 26 years at the club, he had won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League and two UEFA Champions League titles. His announcement of his plan on 8 May 2013 left some Manchester United fans devastated.
His successor, former Everton Manager, David Moyes, lasted only one season before being sacked for a lackluster performance after Manchester United finished 7th on table (below) with only 64pts.

Thought no Premier League Club is taken forgranted, the 2013-2014 season was one which Manchester United would hope is removed from its history, because in that year they missed the Champions League and even Everton finished above Manchester United - as you will see from the table below.

Sir Ferguson, who has co-authored a book with Sir Michael Moritz (the Chairman of Sequoia Capital and who has sat on the Board of Directors at Google, Yahoo!, PayPal and LinkedIn.) titled `LEADING' will, according to the organisers, be discussing the key tools he used to deliver success both on and off the field, including the pivotal leadership decisions of his extraordinary career and how these leadership lessons can be applied far beyond the football pitch.

The lectures which will kick off from September 21, 2015 at the Southbank Centre and will be held in three other centres across the UK including Manchester, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
