Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End
Abstract
Is success simply a matter of money and talent? Or is there another reason why some people and organizations always land on their feet, while others, equally talented, stumble again and again? There's a fundamental principle at work—confidence—that makes the difference between winning and losing in any competition. Based on investigation of success and failure in companies such as Continental Airlines and Verizon and sports teams such as the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, as well as the arenas of education, health care, and politics, Kanter expores a new theory and pracice of success and provides people in leadership postiions with a prescriptive program for maintaining a winning streak or turning around a downward spiral.
