Dr Ruth Gotian studied extreme high achievers and identified four recurring elements: intrinsic motivation, perseverance, a strong foundation and informal learning. The Success Factor, with a foreword by Marshall Goldsmith, lays out the mindset and skillset for peak performance, written for people who seek mastery rather than hacks.
