In his popular Stanford University lectures, Shirzad Chamine reveals how
to achieve one's true potential for both professional success and
personal fulfillment. His groundbreaking research exposes ten
well-disguised mental Saboteurs. Nearly 95 percent of the executives in
his Stanford lectures conclude that these Saboteurs cause "significant
harm" to achieving their true potential. With Positive Intelligence, you
can learn the secret to defeating these internal foes. Positive
Intelligence (PQ)SM measures the percentage of time your mind is serving
you as opposed to sabotaging you. While your IQ and EQ (emotional
intelligence) contribute to your maximum potential, it is your PQ that
determines how much of that potential you actually achieve.
The great news is that you can improve your PQ significantly in as
little as 21 days. With higher PQ, teams and professionals ranging from
leaders to salespeople perform 30 to 35 percent better on average.
Importantly, they also report being far happier and less stressed. The
breakthrough tools and techniques in this book have been refined over
years of coaching hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams. Shirzad
tells many of their remarkable stories, showing how you too can take
concrete steps to unleash the vast, untapped powers of your mind.
