Winners in the Second Half: A Guide for Executives at the Top of their Game

Later career, 'the second half of the game', is not, as it is often perceived to be, a period of decline or a black hole, but an inspirational time of Generative Leadership and a challenging opportunity for better tactics.

This book explores common fears and uncertainties about the second half of the game, enabling you to feel comfortable exploring opportunities previously outside of your comfort zone and feel confident about your future. The common language and frameworks will help you to influence your organisation to create innovative new models and opportunities around leadership, both for yourself and your colleagues.

Cases and stories from high profile business, public sector and sports professionals along side practical diagnoses, will inspire, show you how to take more personal control and determine what combination of things you really want in the second half - with the tools and techniques to make this happen.

This is a practical leadership guide for anyone in management concerned with what their life, career and leadership capabilities will look like once they approach and enter what used to be the traditional 'retirement' age and move into the second half of the game.

David Grayson, Director of the Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility at Cranfield School of Management, "I know from both the demographic data across the developed world and the personal experiences of many people that I meet socially and professionally that Julie is on to something very timely with her message."

'So what are you going to do when you grow up?'

Those of us born since World War II have something to look forward to which no other generations in the history of the world have ever had: exceptional longevity. Most of us currently in our 40s and 50s will live until we are around 100. With my genes and lifestyle my GP predicts I'll keep going until 102.

Whereas we can expect to live until around 100, our parents and grandparents had little expectation of living much beyond 60 or 65. There was no point in them bothering to try to map out and make sense of a time of life which simply wasn't going to exist for them.
