The final frontier in sports, and in business, is something that can't be quantified: the power of a positive culture. In The Barcelona Way, Damian Hughes has pulled off an audacious feat. He not only lifts the veil on Barcelona, he establishes a direct connection between its unique chemistry and its world-conquering success."
Barcelona became a sensation right before our eyes, which makes it difficult to appreciate its true place in history. With riveting stories, well-told science and original thinking, Damian Hughes has lifted the veil on this team’s exceptional culture and how that culture helped it become one of history’s greatest teams.
Barcelona’s astonishing, peerless success has been celebrated in dozens of books, but this is the one we’ve all been waiting for. In The Barcelona Way, Damian Hughes uses a blend of storytelling and science to tackle the most essential question: What can this team teach us about the power of a positive culture?

If you really want to develop a long term cultural change, this is a great starting point. -- Grant Downie OBE, Head of Performance services Manchester City Football Club Academy
