Gary Bailey – Leading Under PressureGary Bailey
Gary uses his experience playing under intense pressure as a goalkeeper for 10 years for Manchester United (he was blamed for losing the 1979 FA cup final!) and England (World Cup 86) to illustrate how to cope with pressure, and how to raise leadership performance levels. He has learnt from his former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest sports leaders of all time, and Gary also uses his MBA training from Henley along with the latest world research to add a different perspective to leadership. All this content comes with loads of humour as well as clips of Gary losing and winning FA Cup finals, and it all results in great take home value for delegates as he illustrates how you can:

  • Learn how to cope with pressure at the highest levels
  • Develop skills to keep performance at its peak in stressful situations
  • Find out how to recover quickly when you lose badly
  • Apply the lessons from leadership in sport to business
