Perform
The ability to perform brilliantly is often the only difference between failure and success. CEOs, HR professionals and leaders across the world of work now understand that a performance-focused approach is the key to achieving exceptional results – whatever the conditions.
Practical and accessible, the message in Perform is clear. Many leaders talk a lot about performance because they know how vital it is for success - yet it remains one of the most commonly misunderstood and inappropriately applied concepts in the modern world of work, often leading to unwitting failure. There is another option – to make different choices and to obsess over the right stuff. That stuff is performance.
Based on decades of experience in two high performance arenas – the world of work and the world of elite sport – Perform provides a fantastic insight into what it takes to be a great performer and the beliefs, attitudes and behaviours that make a real difference. In a simple, human and often irreverent way, it analyses the madness of the approach too many leaders seem to follow that unwittingly leads them to a place they don’t want to visit. Instead, it shows the way to a different path that will actually help CEOs, leaders, HR and those they lead get the performance they need and the results they want.
Filled with everyday advice and simple suggestions that could be applied straight away, Perform is a book every leader, team member or individual performer should read.
