Darren Shand
High Performance
For more than two decades, Darren Shand was the driving force behind the culture and high-performance environment that shaped the New Zealand All Blacks into the world’s most successful international sports team. His focus is on building the "team around the team" and creating an environment that wholeheartedly supports peak performance was instilled into the very fabric of All Black’s leadership. It is no accident that their winning percentage of 76.77% across more than 600 test matches is unrivalled in world sport.
Today, Darren shares his concept of ‘Winning Teams’ with business and sporting leaders around the globe empowering them with the tools and guidance they need to navigate the intricacies of team dynamics, become more effective leaders, and foster empowering and collaborative environments that cultivate peak performance.
Anchored in the principle of "we over me," Darren’s practical and proven approach shows us how to transcend the mere assembly of talent and surpass the capabilities of individuals by astutely recognising and harnessing the collective strength inherent in any group to create our own ‘Winning Teams’.
