Summary

"High Stakes" explores how to thrive when the pressure is on, focusing on the psychology of pressure, decision-making strategies, and confident leadership. It debunks the myth that consistent performance under pressure is an innate talent, instead framing it as a set of learnable skills. Drawing from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and behavioral economics, the book analyzes the effects of stress and offers actionable techniques for optimizing mental and emotional states. Discover how high-performing individuals maintain focus through techniques also used in sports psychology, and learn strategies applicable to crisis management. The book guides readers through self-discovery and skill development, starting with understanding the triggers and impact of pressure on cognitive function. It then delves into decision-making, exploring models for evaluating risk and mitigating bias. Finally, it discusses leadership principles for inspiring confidence and fostering collaboration. Based on case studies of leaders in diverse fields and interviews with high-performing individuals, "High Stakes" provides a toolkit for improving decision-making, managing stress, and leading effectively in challenging circumstances.

    Innovate or die 
For thirty years, Gary Shapiro has observed the world's most innovative businesses from his front-row seat as leader of the Consumer Electronics Association. Now he reveals the ten secrets of "ninja innovators" like Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and many others. 
What does it take to succeed? Discipline. Mission-oriented strategy. Adaptability. Decisiveness. And a will for victory. In short, today's most successful businesses are "ninja innovators." Drawn from Gary Shapiro's three decades of experience leading the consumer electronics industry, Ninja Innovation takes readers behind the scenes of today's top enterprises, uncovering their ten essential strategies for success. 
As head of the Consumer Electronics Association and its influential annual trade show, the International CES, Shapiro has worked with the most innovative companies in history—Intel, IBM, and Samsung, to name a few—focusing on creating policies and events that produce revolutionary products year after year. He has learned the key strategies that have guided these businesses to record-breaking profits, as well as the traps that have led so many others to crushing failure. 
In order to stay in front of the pace of innovation, Shapiro observes, top companies must operate as an elite strike force—just like the legendary medieval warriors known as ninjas. Ninjas weren't called upon to do the ordinary; they had to perform truly extraordinary tasks, while risking everything. As a highly trained martial-arts black belt himself, Shapiro mines the valuable insights of these centuries-old warriors to spotlight the secrets of agility, creativity, decisiveness, and reinvention that are essential for twenty-first-century leaders seeking breakthrough success. 
Taking readers inside the most cutting-edge businesses, Ninja Innovation is the ultimate guide to achieving victory in today's innovate-or-die economy.
