Peak Performer

Learning from top performers to master real life

Peak Performer Book

“Peak Performer” is the first inspirational book for a meaningful performance culture

The concept of performance has come under heavy fire these days – from two sides. On the one hand, there are loud calls for effortless prosperity, a three-day week and an artificial separation of “work” and “life”; on the other hand, there is a concept of performance that only focuses on “higher, faster, further”. Neither extreme is healthy – for us as individuals, but also for society.

In their new book “Peak Performer”, Magdalena Neuner, Christopher Spall and Christian Grams make the case for a contemporary performance culture: self-determined, meaningful and enjoyable

3 reasons for this book:

  • Brand means attitude. Attitude in the question of who we are. What we stand for. What makes us special. This applies to companies as well as individuals. This book is an attitude impulse for top performance – in organizations as well as in real life.
  • Only those who can do something become a sought-after brand. A strong corporate DNA is always based on top performance. This book provides suggestions for achieving individual top performance – for a new performance culture.
  • Building a performance culture is becoming a crucial DNA component for organizations. Only companies that establish a common culture across generations and departments can develop commitment and a sense of unity.

Let us inspire you!

Exclusively in the book: 12 interviews with top performers from sport and business

In the interviews with top athletes and entrepreneurs (including extreme climbers Thomas and Alexander Huber, Olympic champion Matthias Steiner and former ski racer Michaela Kirchgasser), a nuanced picture emerges of how you can steer your own life course sensibly and without going overboard.
Magdalena Neuner is not the only one who knows today that top performance in sport also has its dark side. The book also sheds light – surprisingly openly – on the darker moments of top performers in sport and business. The book not only provides approaches for a new understanding of performance, but also inspiration to master real life with all its ups and downs.

How every organisation can become a No. 1 Brand from within

Technical paper by Christopher Spall

Differentiation in an undifferentiated market:
How companies can maneuver themselves out of the interchangeability trap in five moves

Many companies and organizations operate in highly competitive markets. Are surrounded by competitors offering nearly identical products or services. And at comparable prices. How can a company stand out here?

Christopher Spall’s article uses the example of financial brands to demonstrate how any organization can become a No. 1 brand on its own.
