Editorial Reviews

Charles Garfield is the author of the widely acclaimed "Peak Performance" trilogy: Peak Performers, Team Management, and Second to None. Together, the three books -- which focus on high-performing individuals, teams, and organizations, respectively -- are a blueprint for managers pressured to continuously improve while doing more with less. Garfield's work as a computer analyst and leader of a team of engineers, scientists, and support staff on the Apollo 11 project first led to his discovery of the dynamics of peak performance. For over thirty years, Garfield has conducted a continuous study of business high achievers and their companies. As founder and CEO of Shanti Project, a volunteer organization, he inspired service excellence for peak performers of another kind: patients and families facing life-threatening illness. As a result of a doctorate in psychology and almost 2,000 interviews with peak performers in all walks of life, he began to learn the five skills that run like a golden thread through the careers of all peak performers. 1) Motivation through mission. 2) Ability to innovate. 3) Team-playing to empower others. 4) Orientation toward results. 5) Continuous self-development.
