Summary

Olympic sports present a vivid example of how to achieve world-class performance through a special blend of management, teamwork and individual performance. Based on a hugely successful leadership and team development process which has been tested in over 50 organisations (and licensed by PwC), Performance Leadership aims to give leaders the world class skills and tools required to win in today's dynamic business environment. Case examples include the inside story of how the highly successful Australian swimming team reaped their haul of medals at the Sydney Olympics. Graham Winter was Head of Psychology Services to the 2000 Australian Olympic Team, and is a PricewaterhouseCoopers consultant. He has authored an extensive business training and development process linked to his Business Athlete concept.
