Unstoppable

Anderson draws a line between four types of people found in any organisation: Undertakers, Caretakers, Play Makers and Game Changers. Game Changers push things forward with energy, effort and excellence, and they lift the people around them. The book is written to help readers take on that role.

Its central idea is that talent is only a head start. High performance depends on a deliberately developed mindset of success, supported by bold action every day. The book draws on insights from coaches, managers, CEOs, journalists and entrepreneurs.

A five-step process is set out to help readers raise their performance, change their thinking and develop real toughness. The author stresses that the performance spectrum is about self-assessment rather than sorting colleagues into categories. Published by Wiley in 2017 as the first edition, with 240 pages and ISBN-13 9781119412434.
