Your mind is a powerful tool. You just need to learn how to master it. That’s where Performance Intelligence comes in.
The ability to perform your best when it matters most is a skill anyone can learn. A well-known sports psychologist, Julie Ness Bell, Ph.D., has trained some of the world’s greatest athletes, from professional golfers and tennis stars to football teams and basketball pros. She’s learned that the athlete’s ability to perform under extreme stress is predominantly mental—not physical—and the basic principles of peak performance are the same for everyone, whether you’re a corporate leader, team player, or small business owner.
Principle #1: Your mind is powerful. Principle #2: You control your mind. Principle #3: You have a choice in every situation.
Think about it. Now think again. That’s the secret behind Performance Intelligence at Work, a proven method of unblocking the obstacles in your brain— and unlocking “The Mind of a Champion.”
Performance Intelligence works for athletes, and it will work for you, too. Throughout the book, Bell provides specific examples from her vast coaching experiences and relates them to the corporate playing field.
Each chapter ends with a “Business Leader Huddle” to help you put each principle into action. You will learn how to recognize your old ways of thinking, refocus your thoughts on a goal, and establish new routines to make it happen. Instead of negative “what-not-to-do” thinking (I will not procrastinate), you’ll be able to retrain your brain using proactive “what-to-do” thinking (I will finish this task today).
Soon you’ll be performing at higher levels than you ever thought possible—with a winning mindset you never knew you had.

Limits on sexual candor imposed by the Code clearly led to the creation of an image of people’s sex lives that did not correlate with the roles sex played in society. Under the ratings system, American films revisited the past and portrayed the sex lives of earlier generations.

Noel M. Tichy, “The Cycle of Leadership: How Great Leaders Teach Their Companies to Win” Collins Business | 2004 | ISBN: 0066620570 | 464 pages | PDF | 10,7 MB
In The Leadership Engine, Noel Tichy showed how great companies strive to create leaders at all levels of the organization, and how those leaders actively develop future generations of leaders. In this new book, he takes the theme further, showing how great companies and their leaders develop their business knowledge into “teachable points of view,” spend a great portion of their time giving their learnings to others, sharing best practices, and how they in turn learn and receive business ideas/knowledge from the employees they are teaching.
Calling this exchange a virtuous teaching cycle, Professor Tichy shows how business builders from Jack Welch at GE to Joe Liemandt at Trilogy create organizations that foster this knowledge exchange and how their efforts result in smarter, more agile companies, and winning results. Some of these ideas were showcased in Tichy’s recent Harvard Business Review article entitled, “No Ordinary Boot Camp.”
Using examples from GE, Ford, Dell, Southwest Airlines and many others, Tichy presents and analyzes these principles in action and shows how managers can begin to transform their own businesses into teaching organizations and, consequently, better-performing companies.
