Winning: What The Best Athletes, Teams, And Coaches Do Differently

What separates the best from the rest when the margin between good and great is razor-thin?

McKinsey Senior Partner Seth Goldstrom has spent three decades advising some of the world’s leading companies on how to improve performance. More recently, he has been looking to a different set of high performers for inspiration: world-class athletes, teams, and coaches.

This work has led to _Winning,_ a new framework to help organizations reach their full potential, grounded in eight behaviors that consistently appear among elite performers. Through conversations with championship coaches, Olympic athletes, team executives, and others at the top of their fields, the research has explored what distinguishes those who win repeatedly—and which of those lessons can translate to business.

In the first episode _Winning,_ Goldstrom introduces the eight behaviors and explores what they could mean for leaders and organizations seeking to raise their game.
