Comments?
Comments? I don't think much of this. It is basically a set of ego strokes for the "world class" necons who are running the country at the moment. This is how they see themselves and has very little to do with how complex societies operate.
Who the hell is the "World Class" anyway?
Swimpy - I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps I am too middle class to understand...
So - who is Steven Siebold?
And what about the starving class..... what do they lack?
I choose to survive and overcome my problem with the so called list is the negativism place on the middle class list.
Some of the Mental Toughness Secrets You Will Learn: (from the book)
"177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class "
Champions Lead Through Facilitated Introspection
The World Class Compartmentalize Their Emotions
The World Class Are Ferociously Cooperative
The Great Ones Possess Supreme Self Confidence
The World Class Embrace Metacognition
The World Class Are Coachable
Champions Know Why They Are Fighting
The World Class Operate From Love and Abundance
School Is Never Out For The Great Ones
Champions Are Interdependent
The Great Ones Are Bold
Champions Are Zealots For Change
The Great Ones Don't Give Back
They Just Give
Champions Are Masters Of Mental Organization
The Great Ones Only Negotiate Win-Win Deals
Champions Seek Balance
Champions Believe In Honesty
The Great Ones Aren't Afraid To Suffer
So, husker, the only ones I can think of that this might "fit" would be Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. Are there other prominant Champions I am overlooking?
Unfortunately, there are many with wealth that do not follow this list, so am I correct in assuming "World Class" is therefore distinguishable from the "Wealthy Class?"
the book is a sales gimmick
Quote:If you're a salesperson, entrepreneur, manager, executive, athlete, consultant or any other high performance/high pressure player you'll want to have this book as a reference guide to world-class performance
