About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Michael Barber has spent many years advising governments, businesses and major sporting teams around the world on how to achieve ambitious goals on time. In this book, he applies the wisdom he has gained from dealing with large, complex organisations and elite athletes to help anyone tackle their most challenging goals.

Drawing on the stories of historic visionaries and modern heroes - from Galileo to Rosa Parks, Harold Macmillan to Paula Radcliffe - Barber uses personal anecdote and proven strategy to map the route to success and navigate the difficulties that arise along the way.

Whatever it is that you aspire to do - run a marathon, transform a school or provide a business of public service to millions - this book will inspire you to get going and to bridge the gap between hope and reality.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Full of unexpected insights and personal anecdotes.... Sir Michael is a quietly inspirational leader." (John Rentoul)

"An excellent analysis that reveals that high accomplishment has a signature pattern that reoccurs from sport to politics to business to government. Few people are better placed to describe this pattern than Michael Barber - who has stellar achievements in all these fields." (Matthew Syed)

Late to the party

Hugely insightful at times but the recycling of the Sky/British cycling/marginal gains/Brailsford story feels very dated and has been told in too many similar books already.
