WHY WINNING WITH CHARACTER IS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN The
conditioning begins early in our lives. Great
achievements will bring lasting happiness and
fulfillment; great achievements form the bedrock of
stable self-esteem and strong character; great
achievements will become the foundation for a successful
life. If these well-intentioned promises are true, why
does winning never seem to be enough? In The Only Way to
Win, Jim Loehr draws upon two decades of work with
Fortune 500 executives; world-class athletes such as
Monica Seles, Dan Jansen, and Eric Lindros; and other
high achievers at the Human Performance Institute (HPI)
to reveal surprising insights about achievement
motivation. Specifically, Loehr finds that the blind
pursuit of external achievement often results in
emptiness, addiction, and, ironically, poor performance.
It's not really about what you achieve, he argues, it's
about who you become as a consequence of the chase. From
the bestselling author of On Form, comes a compelling,
practical, and hopeful read filled with relatable
stories and useful exercises. The Only Way to Win will
serve as a powerful wake-up call for business leaders,
employees, teachers, and coaches.It will also provide
inspiration for readers looking to perform better,
achieve more, and change both their own lives and those
of the people they influence. |
