Battle Mind: Performing under pressure
Among other statements, the reviewers said the following:
Why do some people perform with grace under fire, while others lose their grip?
According to corporate psychologist Merete Wedell-Wedellsborg, PhD, the answer can be found in that specific state of mind called Battle Mind. It is state of mind, which – hopefully – eventuates, when we are in a situation that requires immediate actions or decisions. In this state of mind, it becomes possible to perform with extraordinary clout and efficiency.
The book teaches you to make the most of the enormous power lodged in Battle Mind, and hence prepares you to meet the challenges you face in your working life. When you master Battle Mind, you improve your abilities to deal with adversity. This is an ability not reserved for the lucky few, on the contrary, it can be practiced and mastered by all who really want to have this skill.
The book addresses managers in particular, but may also inspire people who in their work life face a time of changing demands under pressure, and at a high pace.
