Book Description
The #1 national bestseller on why good enough is never good enough, in business and in life. In his bestselling business book Driven, Robert Herjavec, the co-star of CTV's Shark Tank and former co-star of CBC's Dragons' Den, urged his readers to embrace risk, take control of their lives and stay true to their visions. Now, Herjavec pushes his readers even further toward greatness. Known for his honesty, integrity and powers of persuasion, Herjavec never fails to reach for the highest rung on the ladder. In The Will to Win, he shares some of his own secrets for greatness, whether it's knowing when to be aggressive (and when not to be), when to talk and when to listen, or when and how to ask the right questions. And he reminds us that we all have the same 24 hours a day in which to maximize our future-it's how we spend those hours that counts. Whether you are seeking to build the next big communications technology company, become the most respected teacher in your education system or make a lasting impact as an artist in your field, the most important decision you can make, according to Herjavec, is to reject mediocrity. Drawing on anecdotes from his own life and from the lives of celebrity friends such as Oprah, Georges St-Pierre and Celine Dion, he delivers valuable lessons that will guide readers to greater happiness and success.

Book Description
Winners are individuals who surpass the efforts of all others and can claim victory in their competitive endeavors. There are probably more famous quotes on winning and succeeding than on most other topics combined. Many of these quotations have come from a variety of thinkers, coaches, philosophers and scientists including the likes of Confucius, Socrates, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Vince Lombardi, John Wooden and 'Bear' Bryant. It is interesting to note that while great thinkers and coaches view winning as their goal, they emphasize that preparation for the event is of even greater importance. This has never been more evident than in this day and age, where competition to rise to the top is pursued by so many and winning is revered by all. The result of this intense competition is that winners are analyzed meticulously. Along with the potential rewards of fame, wealth, public recognition and power, aspiring to win can easily become emotional and personal, and our determination to succeed amplified. In pursuit of the prize we have targeted, we can shorten our journey by finding a mentor, someone who has already successfully traveled that route, in order to achieve our goal sooner rather than later. To develop The Will to Win, the mindset you desire can be mentored and guided by the CelebrityExperts(R) in this book. These guides can often save you the anguish of making the same mistakes they made, and losing precious time along the way. So if you've got The Will to Win, read on and let this book be your guide.

Book Description
The Will to Win: The Story of Biodun Shobanjo is fundamentally a deliberative evaluation of leadership and enterprise management. It is as much a biographical portrait of Nigeria's 'Czar of Advertising' as it is a story of the major developments in the world of marketing communications in Nigeria as it involves Shobanjo. It sheds light on his persona and gives a comprehensive overview of who he is. It is a lucidly engaging work through which the reader understands his parentage, family life and most poignantly, his professional and business life. In a land with few authentic heroes or achievers, Biodun Shobanjo's contributions, achievements and place are deservedly presented. The avalanche of information provided, the depth of treatment given to it, and the sources consulted make this work a productive venture. The reader is assured of an excursion in history, career development, ambition, decision - making, entrepreneurship, business management, office politics, people management, success and failure. It is a positive work that is faithful to its theme: the path to success is guided by the will to win.

Book Description
This book is a fascinating deep-dive into the development of the Silver Ferns' traditions, the evolution of team culture and the nuts-and-bolts of leadership at an elite level. Legendary players and coaches — including Lois Muir, Leigh Gibbs, Bernice Mene, Ruth Aitken and Casey Kopua — candidly discuss the highs and lows of their careers, and of the Silver Ferns, the effect of the intense rivalry with Australia, coping with gut-wrenching losses, and the resilience of players and coaches. For the first time the perspective of these key actors is the subject of serious analysis, and Will to Win offers a real insight into the psychology of a women's high-performance team. As such, it provides a practical guide for developing team culture and leadership for netball coaches at all levels. It also includes comments from Farah Palmer on women in sport and leadership, and a brief history of New Zealand netball, including the gains and losses as netball moved into a semi-professional era, and the struggles for sponsorship and for media recognition, despite it being New Zealand's most popular team sport.

Author: Bryan R. Gibby
Publisher: University of Alabama Press
ISBN: 0817317643
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
The Will to Win focuses on the substantial role of US military advisors to the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA) from 1946 until 1953 in one of America’s early attempts at nation building. Gibby describes ROKA’s structure, mission, challenges, and successes, thereby linking the South Korean army and their US advisors to the traditional narrative of this “forgotten war.” The work also demonstrates the difficulties inherent in national reconstruction, focusing on barriers in culture and society, and the effects of rapid decolonization combined with intense nationalism and the appeal of communism to East Asia following the destruction of the Japanese empire. Key conclusions include the importance of individual advisors, the significance of the prewar advisory effort, and the depth of the impact these men had on individual Korean units and in a few cases on the entire South Korean army. The success or failure of South Korean government in the decade following the end of World War II hinged on the loyalty, strength, and fighting capability of its army, which in turn relied on its American advisors. Gibby argues that without a proficient ROKA, the 1953 armistice, still in effect today, would not have been possible. He reexamines the Korean conflict from its beginning in 1945—particularly Korean politics, military operations, and armed forces—and demonstrates the crucial role the American military advisory program and personnel played to develop a more competent and reliable Korean army.
