How the very best get to–and stay at–the top
From the arenas of professional sports to the boardrooms of
major businesses, a thin slice of peak performers dominates every
field. What is their secret to success? Few people know what drives
these world-leaders like sports agent Molly Fletcher. Not only has
Fletcher herself risen to the top of a tough, male-dominated
field–CNN dubbed her ‘the female Jerry Maguire’–but she
has also represented hundreds of successful athletes, coaches, and
broadcasters in baseball, golf, basketball, and football. Her
experience reveals exactly what it takes to play like ‘the
best.’
* Breaks success into accessible strategies like smart
negotiation, likability, and personal brand-building
* Features interviews with such notables as Home Depot cofounder
and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, future Hall of Fame pitcher
John Smoltz, and football legend Roger Staubach
* Connects high performance to values by showing how the best
give back
No matter what you do or what game you play, Fletcher’s
authoritative and inspirational look at the top 1 percent will help
you win.
