“If you can't perform well under pressure, then you can't really perform well.”
--- Geoff Colvin
Learn the secrets of top performers who excel under pressure and maintain an edge over the competition… Athletes regularly face win-or-lose situations, but so do business leaders, soldiers, litigators, even average people making crucial decisions about their lives. What usually happens? Most people crumble under extreme pressure. But a few not only succeed but thrive under the pressure. These people are clutch. Can the rest of us learn to be like them? According to Paul Sullivan, clutch performers have figured out how to perform under high stress conditions as if they were everyday situations. How do they do it? Drawing on new research and interviews with stars across a range of fields, Sullivan uncovers the shared traits that define clutch performers and explains how anyone can apply these lessons to become great under pressure.
During this program you will learn:
· The five traits all clutch leaders share
· The three common personality flaws that surface under extreme pressure and cause people to not be clutch
· The most important items leaders can learn to become more clutch
