Risk, Originality & Virtuosity: The Keys to a Perfect 10 [Hardcover]

Peter Vidmar (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 28, 2002

To succeed in business, like sports, we must not just do a technically correct performance. Rather we need to put forth an extra effort or needed improvements to reach the degree of success we desire. Olympic Gold medallist Peter Vidmar says those principle are embodied by ROV?. The ROV? principles are simple, yet the underlying messages are profound. Risk means you're willing to do something daring. Originality allows you to quit copying the other guy and accomplish something that causes others to try and copy you. Virtuosity involves taking a certain skill and doing it better than anyone else. When applied together, these principles can help change lives.

This review is from: Risk, Originality & Virtuosity: The Keys to a Perfect 10 (Hardcover)

Peter Vidmar has been a great speaker for years, and has finally written a book the takes his message one-step further. ROV (Risk, originality, and Virtuosity) sounds simple, but when you take the time to sit down and digest what it is all about, you realize that you really do have the ability to do much better at what ever it is you are doing. Because the book is a quick read (an plane trip or evening or two at home) we are encouraging our entire staff to read it.
