In other arenas, there have been commanding sides that swept all before them, like the West Indies cricket team of the 1980s with their fearsome battery of fast bowlers, or the Hungarian football team who introduced a sophisticated new passing game and famously thrashed England 7-1 in Budapest in 1954. But what makes the All-Blacks different is their supremacy for decade after decade – their sheer consistency, longevity and sustained dominance.
So, what is the secret of their success? And what can we – as individuals, companies and teams – learn from them? Whatever field we are in, how can we play like All Blacks?
