Читать книгу Momentum - McQueen Michael - Страница 5

Quite fittingly, the writing of this book had an air of effortlessness about it. Despite the fact that so little serious research has been done into the topic, the process of identifying the principles for building and re-building momentum was much less taxing than I imagined it would be.

I have always loved the challenge of making the complex both simple and accessible – and this book was certainly such an exercise. This is not a lofty academic text but rather an attempt to distill what many of my clients have found to be true but have struggled to quantify and put into words.

Despite the fact that writing this book was somewhat effortless, it was by no means an easy feat. I couldn't have written it without the support of my amazing wife Hailey who tolerated the long hours of research and writing while we juggled the delights and demands of a newborn baby. Thanks too to my amazing parents and parents-in-law from whom Hailey and I have inherited a rich legacy of intergenerational momentum.

Thanks to the Lucy, Chris and the team at Wiley Australia. I'm so grateful for your encouragement, support and willingness to take some creative risks with this project. Thanks also the crew at Ode Management who consistently sharpen and spur me on. It is an honour to work with such a phenomenal team of world-changers.

Finally, thanks to the many thousands of clients and audience members whose stories and experiences have informed both my thinking and the content of this book. I am ever in your debt.
