 Allowing
people to do their jobs without interference is undoubtedly trademark
of the Yankees organization. Torre clearly sees no value in berating
or exhorting his players to improve. Personal responsibility is the
unspoken expectation of everyone. -- Clive Gilson, et al Peak
Performance
PEAK PERFORMANCE 'Peak performance is indeed the challenge.'
– From the foreword by Sir Edmund Hillary
What makes the Yankees, the Bulls, the US Women's Soccer Team, the
New Zealand All Blacks, the Williams Grand Prix Racing Team and Bayern
Munich different from the rest? Players come and go but the teams maintain
a consistently high success rate — how?
The simple answer is that each of these organizations has their own
special magic developed to give them that killer edge — a strategy
that has been kept locked away in the boardrooms, locker rooms and pit
garages of these incredible sports teams. Until now.
With access to such sporting legends as Michael Jordan, Franz Beckenbauer,
and Jonah Lomu and in-depth analysis with the owners and managers, the
authors of Peak Performance have been able to unearth the secret organizational
and institutional ingredients that take these teams on to a higher level
of achievement, and in so doing have created the blueprint for creating
a peak performing organization.
