Om James Kerr

James Kerr is an excellent speaker and storytelling comes naturally to him. He lectures on several topics including sports psychology, management practices and organizational science in a compelling manner. Kerr is the author of the global bestseller "Legacy", in which he reveals the simple secrets to success behind some of the world's elite business, sports and military organizations. The book has been described as "seminal" by The Independent and "unputdownable" by Bloomberg. The Daily Telegraph newspaper called it a "modern version of Vince Lombardi's guides to coaching" and proclaimed "for those searching for genuine keys to team culture, it is manna from heaven". James Kerr explores the driving forces behind the best teams for extraordinary results. This includes a focus on excellence, a collective commitment, a high degree of autonomy, trust and individual initiative, persuasive communication, individual accountability, integrity and humility, all supported by an environment where "leaders create leaders". An impressive list of teams and companies including US and UK Tier One Special Forces, Formula 1 teams, America's Cup, Premier League football managers, Olympic Performance Directors, Google, PayPal, Dyson, Red Bull, Shell and Boeing have sought Kerr's expertise . Kerr also addresses specific challenges facing larger and more diverse organizations today. This includes the impact women leaders can have in previously male-dominated environments, the challenges of engaging millennials, the shift to a transformational leadership style, personal leadership, ethics and integrity, marginal gains and incremental improvement, values and vision, and resilience in the face of adversity. Kerr is currently working on two books: "Where the Earth Meets the Sky" is about the Everest base camp accident, and "What it takes to overcome adversity in order to reach the top". His workbook "Legacy - a Curriculum for Change" addresses the practical challenges leaders face in implementing change. In addition to keynotes and inspiring lectures, James Kerr also offers highly interactive LegacyLabs - masterclasses, where participants design their own high-performance culture and personal leadership story. In these sessions, Kerr challenges participants to first design and then take responsibility for delivering the marginal gains that produce breakthrough results. He acts as a creative catalyst and helps unlock the latent potential in the team.
