Lest: Total Competition
Total Competition - Lessons in Strategy from Formula One - en bok av Ross Brown & Adam Parr
En biografi av selveste Ross Brawn, denne så jeg frem til, men for en skuffelse.
Mulig det er noe jeg ikke forstår her, men boken virker utrolig lite reflekterende, og meget selvopptatt.
Jeg har stor respekt for alt hva Ross Brawn har oppnådd, men denne boken var for meg en stor skuffelse, styr unna.

Omtale:
Total Competition is the most compelling, comprehensive and revealing insight into what it takes to get to the top in Formula One that has ever been published. Across four decades, Ross Brawn was one of the most innovative and successful technical directors and then team principals in Formula One. Leading Benetton, Ferrari , Honda, Brawn and Mercedes , he worked with drivers such as Michael Schumacher , Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton to make them world champions. In 2017, he was appointed F1's managing director, motor sports, by the sport's new owners Liberty Media. Now, in this fascinating book written with Adam Parr (who was CEO and then chairman of Williams for five years), he looks back over his career and methods to assess how he did it, and where occasionally he got things wrong.
Total Competition is a definitive portrait of modern motorsport. In the book, Brawn and Parr explore the unique pressures of Formula One, their battles with Bernie Ecclestone , and the cut-throat world they inhabited, where coming second is never good enough. This book will appeal not only to the millions of Formula One fans who want to understand how Brawn operates, it will also provide many lessons in how to achieve your own business goals.
