Fortune 50 Power Executive Michael Winston Releases New Book on Creating a Winning, High-Performance Culture
Pompano, FL (PRWEB) July 15, 2015 -- Speaking from authority gained by leading Fortune 50 companies through structural transformation, Michael G. Winston celebrates the launch of his book, “World-Class Performance.” Inspired by the skill and determination of Olympic athletes, Winston lays out concrete strategies to keep up with the increasingly competitive and complex global business environment.
Available now on Amazon.com, “W orld-Class Performance: The Commitment. The Pursuit. The Achievement,” uses the Olympic athlete metaphor to inspire readers to regain their Olympic-like competitive edge and rekindle their desire to compete and win. Drawing on decades of experience in corporate America, Winston lays out a blueprint for the future of business and personal excellence that encourages individuals to perform at the top of their game while honoring their values and integrity.
“Change is occurring at a blistering pace, leaving many people unprepared” says Winston, who has shared podiums with Heads of State and given keynote presentations to hundreds of companies, “The leaders who dominate in this new era will not only understand the changes affecting them, but seize them, master them and use them to their advantage to achieve ever higher performance.”
Ken Shelton, a key writer of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, calls “World-Class Performance” a “masterpiece book” and “an Olympic achievement worthy of a Gold medal.” Adding to the accolades, James Belasco, Founder of San Diego State University’s Management Development Center, praises Winston’s new book for being “an original take on the leadership prescription for the ages. A must-read for current and emerging leaders.” Mort Topfer, Former Vice Chairman of the Board for Dell, Inc. agrees stating the book is “A must-read for everyone in business and government.”
