Winning Together: An Olympic-Winning Approach to Building Better Teams
Autor Kate Richardson-Walsh, Helen Richardson-Walshen Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 oct 2021
THIS IS THE INSIDE STORY OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE BEST, SHARING OLYMPIC-WINNING STRATEGIES FOR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS TO USE IN YOUR OWN LIFE AND WORK.
In WINNING TOGETHER, Helen and Kate Richardson-Walsh, part of the GB Women's Hockey team who won Olympic gold in Rio in 2016, show how to create a winning culture in any environment, in any industry, so that you, and your team, can thrive.
Helen and Kate tell all in this book as they travel with you through the nineties, noughties all the way up to today, recalling stories and insights from behind the scenes of their world-beating Olympics. Covering psychology, personal purpose, team purpose, self-awareness, leadership, pressure, mind power and much more, WINNING TOGETHER gives you the tools to be the very best version of yourself.
Through their vast experiences, Helen and Kate guide you through exercises to improve performance, emphasising how buy-in to group-formed behaviours can be the daily catalyst to positive momentum at work and in your daily life. They each tell their own side of the story while reflecting on things they have also experienced as a couple. This is a book unlike any other, truly unique.
Along the way you'll discover what it takes to cope with working and training as an international athlete, if the team really had to sew Velcro onto their kit the night before a game to stop their skirts from riding up, and whether that flight home from Rio was crazy as it looked in the newspapers the next day.

THE INSIDE STORY OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD HIGH PERFORMING TEAMS
In Winning Together, Helen and Kate Richardson-Walsh, share powerful lessons from the Great Britain women's hockey team journey to gold in Rio 2016. They show how to create a winning culture in any environment, in any industry, so that you and your teammates can thrive.
Drawing on their vast experience both in and out of sport, double Olympic medalists Helen and Kate, tell the incredible, behind-the-scenes story of how a team from the lower rankings forced its way to the top. They bring you into their team huddle to reflect and work through exercises to help improve your performance. Using their individual and collective stories they demonstrate that successful teams are made up of people who are valued as human beings and supported to individually flourish.
Covering connection, care, awareness, empowerment, alignment, the power of difference and much more, Winning Together gives you the tools to be the very best version of yourself, and to build better teams.
"Powerful ... Essential reading for anyone that's part of a team." MATTHEW SYED, bestselling author of REBEL IDEAS and YOU ARE AWESOME
Recenzii
"Powerful ... Essential reading for anyone that's part of a team."
"Many have tried to write books about winning that parallel the sporting experience and lessons learned. However, Kate and Helen's book manages to translate some of the more intangible precursors for success and describe them in a way that would be useful to another athlete or someone starting their first job in the business world. This book is human, warm and a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any person looking to learn from their remarkable example."
"This is the inside scoop, the real-deal on how to build winning cultures that keep people at the heart of things. The articulate details and storytelling from athletes and leaders who have walked the path is a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary performance leadership."
"Finally! A book that takes a different perspective on success and leadership. Kate and Helen's incredible story shows how there is a new emerging model of how to build a successful and authentic team environment - whether at work, on the sports pitch or at home. How honesty, vulnerability, conflict and ambition can co-exist to produce extraordinary results for the team and the individuals. And even maybe change the world a little bit for the better."
"Kate and Helen's story is hugely inspirational, told with such refreshing honesty and humility - a must read for anyone seeking to build a world class team and ultimately achieve outstanding results."
