The Leadership Playbook for Australian Sport

Launched 28 September, 2020

All of us are leaders at some point in our lives. Sport is no different - with captains, coaches, umpires and professional staff; each with their lessons for the next person in that role, or their team, or their sport more generally. 

Join us in reading the lessons from twenty Australian CEOs from State, Territory & National Sporting Organisations as they outline key lessons and learnings on:

• Leading teams
• Mentoring 
• Volunteer management
• Resilience & mental health
• Hiring staff 
• and more

This forty eight page colour book features a playbook of ideas from each of these CEOs in a format that is easily digestible in both a digital and hard copy format. 

Meet the CEOs

The twenty CEOs in this book come from a range of sports across Australia. Ten women and ten men represent each state & territory of the country, a mix of state & national sports, a mix of Olympic, Commonwealth and sports in neither. All of them boast a broad range of backgrounds. Their experience working in sport totals over one thousand years, from which, key insights and philosophies have been summarised into this book for you. 

How to get the book

The digital copy is free for members of the Australian Sports Professionials Association, as well as bonus content from each CEO via our website. A hard copy will be available from our online store, with costs designed to cover printing and shipping only.

Book launch

The full colour book was launched on Monday, 28th September. Depending on social distancing and travel requirements, a book launch event will be held either in person in each state & territory - or - as is looking likely at this stage, electronically. 

Teaser interviews

A teaser interview from each interviewee will be released twice weekly after the release of the book. The content is available below.
