Summary: Daniel Coyle spent the two years visiting the world's greatest talent hotbeds in sports, art, business, and music — tiny but powerful places that consistently produce huge numbers of extraordinary performers. Daniel reveals what makes them tick in his books and explains how you can use a few basic leadership principles to maximize high performance and potential in your organization. The secret is located in the brain; in the specific, targeted methods of training and motivation the hotbeds use to build the high-speed neural circuitry that underlies all greatness, from Michelangelo's sculptures to Michael Jordan's jump shot. Combining entertaining stories of his travels (ranging from a Russian tennis club to an Adirondack music school to Brazilian soccer fields to the Little League team Daniel coaches) with vivid takeaways, he shows how the hotbeds serve as useful instruction books that help leaders improve performance and maximize potential in their organizations, their families, and themselves. <br> <br> The SMARTER Team Training Audio Interview Series has been developed to share insights from some of the best in the industry.
