Leadership is a simple game. Its essence is the skilled execution of fundamentals. But leaders too often seem to work very hard at making the game of leadership unnecessarily difficult. As Peter Drucker points out that, not unlike golf, leadership is centred on the integration of three key ingredients, ‘contribution to the mission of the organization, concentration on key task, and commitment to professional standards of performance.’

GOLF AND THE GAME OF LEADERSHIP is about hitting quality shots in the leadership game from wherever your responsibility lies. It is about helping you stay in the leadership fairway. Just as golfer concentrates on achieving the right results with each swing of the club, so too the leader’s energy must be concentrated on accomplishing the right results.

The book doesn’t attempt to teach or train people to be leaders. The focus instead is to help you in your efforts to learn how to lead more effectively.
