Success in management and success in sport are derived from the same basic principles. Top performance in both depends on the ability to marry two key elements: maximizing potential, and overcoming the barriers to achieving your goals.
In sport, the mind-game has long been acknowledged as a vital adjunct to physical prowess. The annals of sporting history are littered with the stories of those who, despite being blessed with the most extraordinary talents, still do not make the grade. Why? Often because simple belief in ability outshines the ability itself. Likewise, in the world of business the most brilliant ideas are all too often wasted on those who lack the drive or application to make them work. Self-mastery is the foundation for success in both fields; conquer yourself and you conquer others.
The Way to Win is the result of an extraordinary meeting of minds from two of the most successful men in their respective fields. Focusing on the motivational principles on which sporting excellence is founded, and applying them to the business arena, Will Carling and Robert Heller present a fascinating and eye-opening manual for all those who aspire to be winners.
Split into two broad sections - the inward strengths needed to close the gap between personal potential and achievement, and the outward processes organisations must adopt to maximize individual contributions - The Way to Win includes a wealth of examples and case histories to illustrate the fruits of these techniques. More significantly, Carling and Heller demonstrate with clarity and eloquence how best to learn from the achievements of others each example draws together the inward strengths and outward processes, creating an indispensable guide to turning potential into reality.
Whether describing England rugby manager Geoff Cooke's strategies for Grand Slam glory, or Sir John Harvey-Jones' re-invention of ICI, the parallels are self- evident: master yourself, work with and through others, and the way to win is clear.
