In Formula One, performance isn’t just measured in tenths of a second —it’s built on trust, adaptability, and relentless precision under pressure. Marcia Goddard captures this reality with remarkable clarity. As a People leader in F1, I’ve seen firsthand how resilience—both cultural and individual—is the true differentiator in elite teams. This book doesn’t just echo our experience; it explains it, grounding our practices in neuroscience and offering a framework that’s as applicable in the paddock as it is in the boardroom. It’s a must-read for any leader serious about building sustainable high performance in an unpredictable world.

A high-octane playbook for modern leaders. Driving Performance fuses the best of Formula 1 with real-world leadership challenges, turning race-day rituals and neuroscience into practical tools you can use on Monday mornings. Fast, fun and firmly grounded, this will help leaders build resilient teams that thrive through change- and make your culture go faster.

Driving Performance is not just for fans of Formula 1 – it is for anyone who works under pressure, leads a team, or wants to understand the real mechanics of resilience. Marcia Goddard’s insights are not vague metaphors; they are neurologically sound, vividly told, and immediately applicable. This book is the real deal.

Driving Performance does not just raise the bar – it shows us how the bar is built. Leaning on exclusive insights from the world’s fastest teams and the science that underpins them, Marcia Goddard reframes performance not as an outcome but as a culture. It is a book that all leaders should read.

Marcia Goddard does not merely decode performance – she rewires how you think about it. With rigour and elegance, she connects the precision of neuroscience with the pressures of Formula 1. The result is a book that is as practical as it is profound. Read it – and prepare to reimagine leadership.
