Improving Leadership and Team Performance

By RAY McLEAN

Any Given Team is the debut book of highly respected leadership consultant Ray McLean. The book reveals his powerful techniques and strategies that have been successfully applied by many of Australia’s elite sporting teams and corporations, to develop outstanding team results.

Crossing over football codes and sports from Australian Rules Football and Rugby League to Rugby Union and Basketball. Ray McLean has worked with St George Illawarra, Adelaide Crows, The Waratahs and Sydney Swans, Sydney Kings, the Australian Basketball Teams, HSBC, Sensis, Country Fire Authority and Toyota.

The clear and concise messages delivered by Ray McLean for improving team performance are resonating beyond business and elite sport, revolutionising the way we approach team activities in general. He has been accredited for turning around the culture in a number of underperforming teams that have since seen their results soar to new heights.

Written in a narrative style peppered with self-deprecating humour, the book chronicles the authors’ own personal journey and the impact his training methods have made to his own life.
