Summary, etc	FC Barcelona are one of the most successful football clubs in the world. In the<br/>four years that Pep Guardiola was in charge they won 14 of a possible 19<br/>trophies – a success rate never matched.<br/>However, what makes FC Barcelona’s unique is the winning culture that has<br/>delivered sustained success for much longer than the customary four-year cycle<br/>of an elite team. Lying at the very heart of their success is how they deal with<br/>people and the care and attention given to the environment in which those<br/>people are nurtured: practices which are of equal relevance to all organisations<br/>trying to channel the activities of their talented individuals for the corporate<br/>good.<br/>In The Barcelona Way, sports psychologist Damian Hughes reveals the key<br/>principles that have defined FC Barcelona’s success and shows how the DNA of<br/>a winning team can be successfully applied to any working environment, with<br/>dramatic results. They are: Big Picture, Arc of Change, Repetition, Cultural<br/>Architects, Authentic Leadership. These are the same principles that are<br/>adhered to in successful working environments across any industry.<br/>Drawing on interviews with key architects of the culture, as well as his own<br/>extensive experience as a sports psychologist working with leading sports and<br/>business institutions, Damian Hughes provides unique insights into the crucial<br/>issues confronting the modern corporate environment, and shows how the<br/>lessons learnt at FC Barcelona can also be applied to develop your own winning<br/>culture.<br/><br/>'A powerful book on the important principles of creating a high performing<br/>culture.' - Eddie Jones, England Rugby Union Head Coach<br/>• 'Barcelona FC is famed for its winning culture. Damian 's book unravels<br/>what that means and gives us pointers to adopt such a philosophy in our<br/>daily lives. A winning read.' - Guillem Balague<br/>• 'Does culture create competitive advantage? Case closed in this compelling<br/>analysis of sporting success. Read it.' - James Kerr, author of Legacy<br/>• 'Damian’s book describes for everyone, the importance of not just any<br/>culture but certain types of culture, consistently applied, in driving<br/>sustainable performance. In these disruptive times, building a wining culture<br/>has never been more important nor Damian’s book more valuable.' - John<br/>Amaechi OBE<br/>
