Research Scholar, UPES, India Abstract: Author studied the development program(s) and leadership succession planning strategies of FC Barcelona, one the most successful club in Spanish Football history and analyzed that success of club is deeply rooted in its strategies from grooming of homegrown talent at La Masia to the appointment of coaching staff. Taking cue from club strategies author identified 5 lessons for Corporate- Developing organizational belief in growth strategies, Developing young executive through structured T&D programs, Present career progression opportunities to young employees, Develop „inward‟ succession planning framework through grooming in-house talent and above all nurturing the philosophy of “Más que una empresa”(More than a company). Key Words: Succession Planning, Leadership Development, Sports Psychology 1. FC BARCELONA Futbol Club Barcelona also known as FC Barcelona and familiarly as Barça, is a professional football club, based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and Catalan footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto "Més que un club" (More than a club). It is the world's second-richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €398 million (2011). The unique feature of the club is that unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. Jack Greenwell was the first fulltime club manager from 1917 to 1924 under which club grabbed 6 tournament honors.

Se llama Edison y no Edson. Esto ocurrió porque su padre Joao Ramos, apodado Dondinho, quiso homenajear a Thomas Edison, inventor de la bombilla además de otras 1.092 patentes. Lo cierto es que Pelé llegó al mundo al día siguiente de que la electricidad llegara a Três Coraçoes, pequeña población de Minas Gerais. Como homenaje al inventor, Dondinho decidió que ese negrito flacucho se llamaría Edison y así consta en el documento de identidad de Pelé, que siempre aborreció esa “i”. por cierto, el mismo documento dice que nació el 21 de octubre de 1940 cuando no es así: nació el 23. “¡Éste será un gran futbolista!”, dijo Dondinho al ver a su escuálida cría recién nacida. Y fue el más grande aunque nunca pudo arrebatarle al padre un récord: marcar cinco goles de cabeza en un mismo encuentro. Dondinho lo consiguió, Pelé no. Porque Dondinho también fue futbolista. Delantero centro en concreto. Con unas aptitudes más que correctas, pero en una época donde los jugadores apenas percibían remuneración económica, con lo que su familia vivió casi en la pobreza.

    DOCUMENTARY Tito’s Striking Touch 1 x 50’ HD Tito’s Striking Touch A human and moving portrait of F.C. Barcelona coach, Tito Vilanova. Marcats per Tito (Original title) tv3.cat/sales DOCUMENTARY 1 x 50’ HD Tito’s Striking Touch A Story of Friendship Leo Messi Xavier Hernández Gerard Piqué Director This is a true story of friendship. Twenty years ago a group of 14 and 15 year-old soccer Dani Barcón, Jesús Muñoz, players living in Barcelona daydreamed about ending up coaching their city’s team. The Bernat Solé and Santi Padró dream came true because that group of young up-and-coming soccer stars ended up leading Barça, the best team in soccer history. Produced by TV3 - Televisió de Catalunya We’re referring to Tito Vilanova, and Pep Guardiola, and many other personalities with less media focus, but who played key roles in F.C.Barcelona’s history, among them Jordi Roura, Aureli Altmira and Jaume Torras. Tito Vilanova was the F.C.Barcelona team coach in the 2012-2013 season, during which they won the Spanish league after making 100 points, a record in that competition's history. Months later, on April 25, 2014, Tito died of a relentless disease. The documentary reveals how he worked with and led this first-line team as he simulta- neously underwent medical treatment, and the role he played in renewing Messi’s contract and encouraging Neymar’s addition to the team. Team players Leo Messi, Gerard Piqué, Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta and Charly Rexach add their voices to the documentary, describing how he touched them, both as a friend and a top player.

Het spel werd 'fútbol' genoemd en was verder nog onbekend. Toen Hans Gamper op 29 november 1899 de Barcelona Fútbol Club oprichtte, kon niemand bedenken dat de club honderd jaar later zo groot zou zijn! Voor de Catalanen werd deze voetbalclub steeds belangrijker. De Catalaanse bevolking wilde namelijk onafhankelijk worden van Spanje, iets wat hen niet in dank werd afgenomen door de Spaanse regering. Via FC Barcelona, ook wel Barça genoemd, kon de bevolking zich toch Catalaan voelen en mede hierdoor bleef de club groeien. Nationaal en internationaal zouden in de loop der jaren verschillende prijzen binnengesleept worden. Bij FC Barcelona is altijd sprake geweest van veel buitenlandse invloed. De Catalanen zijn van oudsher een volk van zeevaarders en handelsreizigers, net als de Nederlanders, zou je kunnen zeggen. Toch was er pas voor het eerst sprake van Nederlandse invloed toen Rinus Michels er in 1971 trainer werd, het seizoen seizoen nadat hij definitief een bekende coach was geworden dankzij het winnen van de Europa Cup voor landskampioenen met Ajax.

  • Único E Irrepetible
    REVISTA #20 diciembre/2015 ATACAR PARA GANAR, LA ESENCIA HISTÓRICA DEL JUEGO DEL BARÇA EL VIEJO PROFESOR LUCESCU AGÜERO, LESIONES Y GOLES ÚNICO E IRREPETIBLE Ilustración: Marc Vicens EDITORIAL EL CÓMO El pensamiento convencional dice: lo que importa es el resultado. Aunque matiza que también importa cómo se consigue, otorga indiscutible prioridad al resultado. Yo digo que dicho pensamiento es falaz. Lo más importante es el cómo porque el resultado siempre es y será pasajero y reemplazado. El resultado no es eterno ni duradero. El resultado se pierde sumergido en una marea de resultados en la que unos solapan y ocultan a otros. Lo que trasciende no es el resultado porque hay resultados cada día y a todas horas, resultados que enmascaran, suplen y esconden otros resultados. Hay más resultados que amaneceres. Lo que trasciende no es cuántos amaneceres vives, sino cómo los vives. El Cómo tiene mala fama por una razón fundamental: sus detractores han pretendido definir el concepto -y parecen haberlo conseguido- como algo meramente estético, cuando no es así. Ellos mismos lo reconocen si, apurados por el reloj o las angustias del resultado, apelan a “ganar como sea”. El “como sea” equivale a todo menos a un esmero estético, de ahí la contradicción estentórea. No estoy reivindicando la derrota ni negando la importancia del resultado, sino situando al Cómo en primera fila de todas las prioridades. El Cómo es trascendental. Es prioritario porque constituye nuestra auténtica elección. Es el camino que decidimos tomar. Es el guión que pretendemos escribir. Es el rostro que queremos mostrar. Es la riqueza que ansiamos atesorar.
