How can we look at the great achievements of professional athletes and relate it to business and life? The same properties that professional athletes use to excel are the same ones business professionals, everyday people, and those wanting something more can look towards. James Citrin’s, new book THE DYNAMIC PATH: Access the Secrets of Champions to Achieve Greatness Through Mental Toughness, Inspired Leadership and Personal Transformation (Rodale Hardcover; September 4th, 2007; $26.95; 1-59486-358-X) offers a fresh and innovative path to professional and personal success based on extensive research and candid interviews with some of the greatest winners of our time.
In The Dynamic Path Citrin identifies the fundamental characteristics and consistent behaviors that have led many of the world’s most outstanding athletes, chief executives, and other star performers to achieve their most significant accomplishments. He uses dozens of compelling interviews with personalities such as Colin Powell, Tony Hawk, Mia Hamm, Arnold Palmer, Lance Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin to illustrate an inspiring personal development program called The Dynamic Path—a plan that anyone motivated to achieve excellence in business, sport and life can begin to apply immediately. Citrin identifies the three stages on this path to greatness:
- The Champion—combine the work ethic of Tiger Woods and Eric Heiden with the self-confidence and mental toughness of Joan Benoit Samuelson to reach the top.
- The Great Leader—follow Howard Schultz’s leadership example in the building of Starbuck’s into one of the most valuable global brands and Sean Fitzpatrick’s inspiring leadership of New Zealand All Blacks rugby team, the world’s most successful sports franchise.
- The Legacy Builder—learn the ultimate lesson in good and lasting work from Billie Jean King and Bono.
With motivating stories, real world business examples, personal anecdotes, and his trademark penetrating insight into what it takes to achieve professional and personal success, Citrin once again provides a crystal clear roadmap for personal excellence.
