Described as a "masterpiece" and "a must-read for everyone in business in government," Michael G. Winston's World-Class Performance explores how companies can thrive and compete without sacrificing their values. With the Olympics as a backdrop, Winston draws on his decades of experience in corporate America to lay out a blueprint for the future of business and personal excellence. Before becoming one of the United States' highest profile whistle-blowers connected to the financial industry meltdown, Michael G. Winston spent more than 30 years working as a business leader, change agent, and organization strategist for some of America's most prestigious corporations. He has served as a senior executive for Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, Motorola, Merrill Lynch, and Countrywide Financial.

    It has been my pleasure and honor to work with Michael for several decades, so I am excited by his book which captures much of the wisdom he has developed over the years.
    Winston worked within organizations ranging from hi-tech to financial, allowing Michael the opportunity to test his emerging theories and beliefs--to confirm what works and what does not.
    He has spoken to leaders world-wide with positive response.
    Reading his book is the easy way to learn that which took Michael years to accumulate and synthesize.

    Reviewed in Canada on July 6, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    A different perspective on the most salient issues that corporations face. These issues filter through to the rest of society and explain why there is such a selfish and detached attitude today. This from a whistleblower who maintained his moral compass, and exhibited courage that many lacked. It is with this same conviction that he presents a solution to the ails of corporations, which would also alter the behavior of employees, who currently feel so alienated and detached from corporations; feeling as though they are not valued as they should be and could be replaced at any moment.

    A must read for everyone.
