Of course, the other option to recruiting talent is developing your own, and that\u2019s the area we\u2019ve explored in our two other talent articles in this edition, firstly with the Head of Learning and Talent Development at global investment bank BNP Paribas, a man who develops highflying \u2018corporate athletes\u2019 on a daily basis, and secondly with a world expert in skill development from the Australian Institute of Sport, who told us that the \u201cbest coaches have athletes believe they\u2019re exactly the right coach for them\u201d.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in this edition we talk to legendary rugby coach Sir Graham Henry about what makes the New Zealand All Blacks so special, we challenge traditional thinking on testosterone and look at the tenets of great leadership. It\u2019s a collection of stories and ideas to help you look at your team, athletes and organization with fresh eyes.<\/p>\n
