Robyn Benincasa has made an art form of extreme performance by
competing and winning at the highest levels of sport and business.
In her fifteen-year career as a professional adventure racer, she
has biked through jungles in Borneo, climbed Himalayan giants in
Nepal, trekked across lava fields in Fiji, rafted rapids in
Chileand racked up multiple world championship titles along the
way. In her spare time, she is a firefighter and a sought-after
keynote speaker on the subject of teamwork and leadership.
In How Winning Works, Benincasa shows you how to climb
to new levels of professional and personal success. She shares the
eight essential elements of teamwork, learned through her extreme
adventure racing, that create synergy with all the teammates in
your life, from colleagues and customers to family members and
friends:
Total Commitment
Empathy and Awareness
Adversity Management
Mutual Respect
"We" Thinking
Ownership of the Project
Relinquishment of Ego
Kinetic Leadership
This field guide to success shares the same training tools and
exercises that have become wildly popular in the leadership
seminars Benincasa gives to corporations, including Starbucks,
Deloitte Consulting, 3M, Verizon, Nestlé, Boeing and many others.
Stories from her adventure racing also illustrate how winning teams
interact under the world's most extreme conditions, from jungles to
mountain peaks.
Whether you're trying to beat the competition to market with a
new product, scale a looming mountain of deadlines or simply get
your kids to clean up their rooms, the advice in this book will
take you on an adventure you'll never forget, and coach you over
the finish line to success.
