How High-Performance Teams Navigate the Unknown
Format:
Pre-order:
A unique survival guide for an uncertain world - from Kevin Fong, doctor, expert in major-incident planning and response, NASA physician and writer-presenter of the hit podcast 13 Minutes to the Moon
No plan survives the first five minutes of contact with reality – so how should we prepare for what follows?
Kevin Fong has spent his working life in high-risk, high-performance teams – flying as a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service doctor, working with NASA’s human spaceflight programme, as well as being part of the UK’s frontline response to major incidents and terror attacks.
Told through gripping stories of the most challenging, high-pressure emergencies across medicine, aviation and spaceflight, Minute Six provides crucial, counter-intuitive insights into how the best teams and organisations succeed against the odds, learn from failure and go again.

'This gripping, essential book is a masterclass' DAVID NOTT
'Enthralling from start to finish. No one is better placed to dissect how humans best navigate our complex, volatile, high-stakes world' RACHEL CLARKE
'Inspiring tales of people at their very best' OLIVIA COLMAN
'Humane, gripping and profound' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN
