Synopsis
- What entrepreneurs and managers could learn from extreme athletes - Reaching your goals with the right mindset, attitude and focus - Written from a straightforward, personal perspective Experienced base jumpers and other extreme sports athletes have one unwritten rule: self-knowledge. The way you think and the choices you make determine who you are and who you will become. If you know yourself, you will dare to take risks, to go your own way and to change. This rule goes for professionals who aim for high performances too. If you want your performances to have a positive drive, you first have to get to know yourself. Dare to Jump helps you to overcome your fears and gives you three power skills with which you can become the best version of yourself. Someone with a boundless mind-set, a sharp focus and a great amount of trust. You learn why focus is the new IQ, how to train yourself to enter the right flow, and how you build the level of trust within your team.
Synopsis
Our ego shapes our behaviour. Organisations work best when the behaviours of employees are complementary. At a time when employers are asking employees to take responsibility for managing their own work and to work collaboratively, employers cannot avoid engaging in the personal development of their staff including ego management skills. Ego@WORK explores the pros and cons of the ego as an engine of behaviour and attitude and suggests how organisations can deal with this.
