An insightful, informative, and inspirational view on how to improve performance - not just theory but with a great perspective on how to apply it and therefore deliver actual, and indeed tangible, benefit!

Great book!
GThis proved to be a highly readable and insightful book that brought the key elements that are essential when striving to perform at the highest level whether on a personal or professional basis. Floyd and Simon have struck up a dynamic fusion of very different yet surprisingly complimentary occupations where the ability to really understand oneself as well as others proves to be so important. A book that covers complex and challenging concepts in an interesting and absorbing manner. Highly commended for all those who seek to really want to up their game and get the most out of themselves.
Excellent
This is a really inspiring read, a mixture of well thought through amd articulated strategy, underpinned by the accepted pedagogy, and most importantly - made believable by the pedigree and experiences of the writer. Bring on the next one!
Brilliant that's all I have to say as the book speaks for itself.

An interesting and practical book of advice on motivation and management from venture capitalist Simon Acland and SAS hero Floyd Woodrow.
Floyd Woodrow is an inspirational person who motivates others to want to excel. This book is a synopsis of his view on what it takes to deliver Elite performance and exceptional leadership. It's a great read with some inspirational, and in places witty content from someone who has been there and done it. Highly recommended.
