A Champion's Path: Race Team Strategies for Business

Autor Derek Daly
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2017
A Champion's Path describes the tactics and strategic cultures adopted by world-class racing teams and delivers a roadmap for businesses seeking to shift their teams from great to extraordinary. Author and motor racing legend Derek Daly is a former Formula One and Indy 500 Driver, long-time network TV analyst, entrepreneur, and sought-after keynote speaker. In his latest book, he uses his decades of experience on the track, and as a first hand observer, to provide an authoritative look at the winning philosophies of exceptional teams in one of the most competitive environments on the planet.

Modern racing is a sport of exacting human performance that operates under constant pressure in compressed time frames, with winning teams understanding that critical performance gains occur at the outer margins and boundaries of people and equipment. Derek Daly draws a parallel with the challenges faced by 21st century business, in a world where new technology, globalization and increased regulation put pressure on companies to be faster and smarter than the competition.

A Champion's Path provides a compelling and easy to follow frame of reference to enable business leaders to understand how to access the winning spirit in all of us, which in turn fuels sustained high performance from their workforce. In his book, and when he speaks to business audiences around the world, Daly presents fascinating anecdotes and concrete examples which explain where extraordinary lives--and how to get there.

Notă biografică

Driving Legend Derek Daly is the epitome of the complete champion. From Victory Circle to the Announcer's Desk, Hall of Fame Race Car Driver and Network Television Color Analyst Daly has spent nearly three decades as the face of the motorsport world.
Derek Daly's professional racing career spanned 17 years, and his experiences are nothing short of breathtaking. After fourteen surgeries and three years in therapy, he returned to full-time racing. He competed in the 12 Hours of Sebring and won the race two years in a row.
Born in Dublin, Ireland to a middle class working family, Derek's career path was set at the age of twelve when he attended his first auto race. From that moment, his commitment to the dream of being a professional driver was unshakeable. His dreams became reality when he won Irish, British and European championship events. In 1978, he competed in the highest class of auto racing at the Formula One World Championship, and two short years later Derek was ranked 10th in the world. In 1983, he made his first of six starts in the Indianapolis 500.
In 1985 Derek started a 10-year association with ESPN as a motor sport color analyst. Since then he's become the face of motor sports, seen on NBC, CBS, Fox and Speed Channel. USA Today highlighted Derek as "the best new face on sports television" and IndyCar Racing magazine voted Derek "the most popular motor sports television announcer."
Moet & Chandon champagne awarded Derek the Joules Goux Award for his outstanding contributions to motor sports television. He was later nominated for ESPN's Ace Award, and Derek received the 2000 Hall of Fame Award from "Motor Sport Ireland" for his leadership of Irish motor sport.
Derek became the 'voice' of motor sports when Electronic Arts signed him to be the voice of the Andretti Racing high-tech video game. Motor Trend magazine voted the Derek Daly Performance Driving Academy as "the best driving school in America." The school boasts title of the most advanced driver training / racing school in the USA, and even hit the big screen when Sylvester Stallone chose Derek's program for his own race driving preparation for the film "Driven." Robin Yount, Pete Sampras, Aerosmith, John Oates and Vin Diesel have also have attended the academy's world-class driving programs.
Derek Daly is CEO and founder of MotorVation, a unique provider of consulting and experiential learning solutions.
