"How can I develop an elite leadership team when there's hardly any time to get my real work done?"
This is a universal lament from business leaders in fast-paced organizations... until they apply the unique and time-efficient practices outlined in this book. Competent is Not an Option shows you how to adapt the talent development process used by championship sports teams to produce all-star leaders in your business. What if you could ...
-Compress a year's worth of leadership development activities into one month?
-Build leadership capabilities every day, even during phone calls, giving presentations, or in breaks between meetings?
-Ignite hidden leadership capacity to achieve goals you've given up on or never even contemplated?
-Turn mind-numbing meetings into engaging skill-building sessions?
What sports teams know-about mindset shifts, practice methods, and elite talent development habits-isn't taught in any business school or corporate training department. Apply the principles in this book and you will develop an elite leadership team who can out-think, out-practice, out-learn, out-innovate, and out-perform your competition.
What Elite Performers say about Competent is Not an Option:
"...For any businesses lacking time to develop elite leaders, Competent is Not an Option delivers an innovative solution by adapting player development methods from sports. It's a game-changer."
-- Billy Beane, VP/General Manager, Oakland A's
"...Art Turock does a tremendous job of taking the concepts he learned from our coaching clinics and translating them to the business world. Competent is Not an Option is a fantastic resource to help develop your talents and maximize your abilities."
-- Pete Carroll, Head Coach, Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks
"This book is not a collection of sports analogies. You will learn ingenious ways to adapt sports team's talent development practices to systematize the art of performing at the highest level."
-- Jim Donald, CEO Extended Stay, Past CEO, Starbucks

About the Author
Art Turock is an elite performance game-changer who helps clients develop elite leaders, achieve unprecedented productivity, and ignite their hidden leadership capacity. He delivers keynote speeches, seminars, executive coaching, and year-long Mission Unreasonable Projects.
Art has been a valued resource to over 120 Fortune 500 companies, including 3M, Procter & Gamble, and AT&T. He has spoken to hundreds of trade associations and executive education groups such as the American Society of Association Executives and Young Presidents' Organization.

He achieved an All-American standard time in the 60 meter indoor dash. In 2011, his pentathlon score ranked #4 in the United States for his competitive age group.
