In Better Leaders, Dr. Pedro Díaz Ridao uses science and sport to help us maximize our talents and improve our teams. This book analyzes the eight personality traits that help us translate our ideas into actions. These eight steps are based on five years of research and over a decade working with teams from all walks of life, from entrepreneurs to professional athletes and from CEOs to boards of directors. These eight traits will help us become better professionals and leaders.

This book combines rigorous research and insightful interviews with key figures from sports, the corporate world, and society. Díaz inspires us to connect our own life history with our future plans to build the present we desire.

In Better Leaders, you’ll find out why Hollywood’s film industry is headquartered in Los Angeles (and why you should care). You will learn why the Ryder Cup is contended between Europe and the United States, and you’ll discover how social media can actually help us improve our empathy.

A recommended read for leaders, parents, teachers, college students, or anyone with a curious mind who seeks ways to improve their life and career.
