his breakthrough book challenges traditional views about
business, leadership, and performance by linking the benefits of
nutrition and exercise with the power of neuroscience to optimize
executive performance.
In today's dynamic business climate, despite technological advances,
executives spend more time at work than ever before. Faster-moving
markets, shorter deadlines, constant change, and tighter budgets all
mean greater pressure and increased energy demands.
Headstrong Performance explores the research behind the
deterioration of executive performance as a result of stress
mismanagement and reveals the neuroscience behind stress and poor
health behaviors commonly witnessed in the workplace. These
misguided coping strategies ultimately result in employee dis-
engagement, decreased business performance, and subsequently, a
suffering bottom line.
Armed with the latest science, this book provides numerous highly
effective health strategies that will enable today's professionals to work
toward improved, sustainable business performance—and remain at the
top of their game for years to come.
Colin Sampson, senior vice president of SAP, says: "Headstrong
Performance is a life-changing message about healthy work-life
balance, good nutrition, rest, and regular exercise, all leading to an
improvement in performance, individually and as a team. A great way to
bring about real, positive, and productive change."
