Developing Mental Toughness : Improving Performance, Wellbeing and Positive Behaviour in Others

Mental toughness is about how effectively individuals respond to stress, pressure and challenge. Understanding this concept is essential to improving performance for both the individual and organization, and this ground-breaking book explains mental toughness clearly and effectively. Tracing its development from sports psychology into the world of business, health and education, "Developing Mental Toughness" is the first book to look at mental toughness and its application at the organizational level. Written for anyone coaching individuals and teams for improved performance, "Developing Mental Toughness" contains practical guidance on delivering techniques that will radically improve people's abilities to harness the effects of stress and pressure. Full of sample exercises and case studies, this book also features the Mental Toughness Questionnaire - a unique self-assessment tool to determine your mental toughness score. You can find more information about the mental toughness measure online at our associated website.
