Synopsis
"Mitchell Perry has been training winners for a long time. Let him help you on your journey." -- Kenneth Blanchard, coauthor, The One Minute Manager Athletes Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Joe Montana; coaches Bill Walsh and John Wooden; and most other superachievers in sports share a basic trait. All have similar and powerful mental management skills allowing them to obtain optimal performance results under maximum pressure. In The Zone is a step-by-step game plan for unleashing your optimum performance potential in business just as these top athletes and coaches do in their arenas. Dr. J. Mitchell Perry, whose JM Perry Corporation coaches business executives worldwide in these skills, and Steve Jamison illustrate in dramatic terms how understanding the method in which the likes of Jordan, Woods, and Montana think can have a positive and profound impact on your own performance results in the workplace. Perry and Jamison describe:
- How Jordan unleashes his optimum potential (and how you can do the same)
- Why "two option" thinking destroyed Greg Norman in the 1996 Masters Tournament
- How to experience instant recovery from business setbacks
- How to reduce stress from business challenges

From Booklist
Popular management literature is replete with analogies to sports and competition, but Perry and Jamison go for the gold. Perry is founder and president of a company that conducts "adventure training" seminars to foster corporate teambuilding; Jamison is a journalist and coauthor of Winning Ugly: Mental Warfare in Tennis (1993). The "zone" used here is a commonly referred to sports phenomenon--a state of peak performance that is more mental than physical--and the authors argue that those in business can also enter the zone to achieve success. In a section titled "The Opponent," they identify mental management techniques to overcome "performance-inhibiting thought processes," and in a section called "Your Team," they examine the internal resources all individuals possess but tend to neglect over time. Finally, in "Your Game Plan," they lay out steps (ritualize, visualize, optimize, and capitalize) to take to attain the zone. David Rouse
