Sarina Wiegman: Leadership, failing, and puffer jackets

Sport should unite people; that’s what England women’s football coach Sarina Wiegman believes, and it’s something she achieved when the Lionesses won the Euros in 2022.
In this chat with Fearne, Sarina explains that succeeding at a high level is important because it provides a platform to drive meaningful cultural change. She also talks about why a good leader should be empathetic to the individual characters of those they’re managing, and why clarity - being clear and honest in communication - is a key value of hers.
Sarina’s book, What it Takes: My Playbook on Life and Leadership, is out on the 9th November.

Sarina Wiegman's appointment changed everything. She brought that tactical calmness that was lacking in previous tournaments. The English women's team were always on the brink with 3 semifinal appearances in World Cup 2015, Euros in 2017 and World Cup in 2019 but never quite took the next step. Sarina's experience of winning the Euros in 2017 and reaching the final in World Cup 2019 with the Netherlands brought a unique experience to the group.
