Eddie Jones is the Head Coach of England Rugby Union Team, ex-player and an author. Eddie has played for Australia and coached the South Africa, Australia, Japan and England national teams.
After playing and training at the highest level for 45 years, he knows a thing or two about rugby, elite teams and leadership. And he shares his experience in this great interview by Chris Williamson (Modern Wisdom).
Expect to learn the 5 values that every leader needs to have, Eddie’s non-negotiables for making him the best leader he can be, why he bought a samurai sword to attack some fruit with, his tips on how to make a good first impression, how to deal with pressure, how he copes with media scrutiny and much more.
His Australian accent requires some effort, but his wisdom makes it worth it not only for sportsmen, but for anyone leading elite teams.
