Q4 · 2025Be a Leadership Champion.Lead Toward the Extraordinary.

I’m proud to announce the publication of my latest book, WINNING MATCH: Leadership for Game Changers – Together Toward the Extraordinary.

If you are a regular follower of my Spotlight on Performance articles and essays, you’ve seen the quarterly insights, advice, guidance, and inspiration I provide for leaders in the corporate world. I continue to receive amazing responses – a constant stream of moving reactions and feedback from readers, an ever-increasing number of subscribers. It’s also from all your input that I felt inspired to write this new book and share some more key insights from my work, especially on how much leaders matter when it comes to fostering excellence.

The true power of leadership lies not only in reaching great results, but in creating the conditions for others to achieve the extraordinary.

Drawing from more than two decades of coaching top-tier executives as well as working with world-class athletes and sports icons, in this book, I will introduce you to Winning Match® – my proprietary framework for identifying Game Changers and building high-performance partnerships that unlock their full potential.

Packed with real-world insights, proven strategies, and personal stories, including my own journey from professional footballer to executive coach, business expert, and trusted advisor for global CEOs, this book will teach you how to:

  • Recognize the rare qualities of individuals with game-changing potential
  • Build trust-based “Winning Match” relationships that foster excellence
  • Create breakthrough leadership conversations that drive innovation, growth and loyalty
  • Make the best even better

Whether you’re a CEO, business leader, senior executive, manager, decision-maker, entrepreneur, or innovator, Winning Match will shift your mindset from managing performance toward leadership that exceeds the ordinary and unlocks the extraordinary.

Foreword by Severin Lüthi, longtime Coach of Tennis Legend Roger Federer

You’ll also find a foreword by Severin Lüthi, longtime head coach of tennis legend Roger Federer – who I had the privilege of working with for more than a decade – who will share some insights into our collaboration and the applied leadership approach. Here’s an excerpt of Seve’s foreword:

“I have no doubt that reading this book will be game-changing for you. You will dive deep into what characterizes potential Game Changers, what makes them tick, and what sets them apart from the rest. And the most important thing that you will learn is how you can adapt your leadership to make your best people even better, together toward the extraordinary, in a true Winning Match.”

I wish you many inspiring moments – and I hope you will enjoy the read!
