A Discussion of the Archetypes of High Performers

4 stars

Grover's first book in the coaching space is not as strong as his sophomore effort, "Winning". In this text, he mostly provides a look at the various archetypes of high performers.

I think this book is most useful as a guide to introspection. Grover divides high performers into three categories and then gives various traits of each. Matching those traits against yourself is helpful for framing your own headspace.

Grover is exceptionally blunt and is pretty frank that some aspects of high performers aren't necessarily helpful or flattering. After multiple decades of working with some of the best athletes ever, he's candid about the ups and downs.

There's not much guidance on how to actually apply this knowledge, but I think it's still a useful exploration of mindset from someone with serious credentials. It might help you better understand yourself or the people you're leading.
