Winning Enterprises

Winning Enterprises and its principal, Yehuda Shinar, specialises in the field of training personal, team and organizational excellence, and is focused on developing specific programs that build on the unique concept of winning behaviour. Yehuda’s premise is that winners simply differ from others in the way they think. Based on his extensive study and empirical evidence in the field of identifying and creating winners, he developed the winning model, which can be used to (i) develop the ability to maximize one’s potential even when under pressure and in competitive situations – mainly by developing people’s ability to Think Correctly Under Pressure (“T-CUP”) – all of which he concludes are the real secret power of winners and (ii) to enable implementation in all walks of life.

In the mid 1990’s, Winning Enterprises developed a computer simulation game based on Yehuda's Winning Theory and Concept (i.e. implementing the Winning Theory into practical tool) to enhance the mind's ability to make decisions correctly under pressure using fun and engaging gameplay, combined with an audio coaching system driven by an innovative assessment technology, which over time gives players the same mental model for winning used by professional athletes, fighter pilots, and other high pressure, success-oriented occupations.

Based on research carried out over the last 18 years, the game incorporates a set of winning behaviour principles that can be adapted and applied to any sphere of life. The concepts in the game have been applied successfully with financial Institutions, Fortune 500 companies, and professional sports teams, including the English Rugby team prior to their World Cup victory in 2003.

  
  • Winners maintain self control by reminding themselves that under pressure there is more time than they feel, adhering to T-CUP rules when negative thinking occurs and by being a noble winner.
  • Winners are aware of faulty tactics by never being afraid to say "Winners make mistakes but they never repeat them", not falling in love with their ideas and through constant debriefing.
  • Winners stick to basics by memorising the fundamental building blocks of their field of activity to overcome any psychological barriers and by not experimenting during critical moments.
  • Winners are being decisive by moving fast enough between making a decision and actualising it and by quickly prioritising their options against their "corners" to avoid them.
  • Winners maintain their quality of counter pressure by correctly identifying the nature of any one-on-one situation they are involved with and by countering pressure with will power.
  • Winners are being thorough by becoming practical perfectionists, striving for perfect results yet going for the best possible ones. They avoid short cuts by being strict and orderly in completing tasks.
  • Winners stick to proven tactics by resisting any temptation to change a proven method with something new, however creative it may be.
  • Winners are managing their time by being continually aware of the available timeframe, prioritising their tasks and splitting large tasks into small chunks whilst committing to any deadlines.
  • Winners avoid unnecessary corners by mapping these corners against their given activity and constantly debriefing (by asking "am I trapping myself in a corner?" and "is this a corner?").
  • Winners seize opportunities by acting decisively during critical moments within the available timeframe.
  • Winners maintain momentum by keeping the same level of performance throughout an activity, avoiding complacency and by securing their actual achievements before moving on to their next goal.
  • Winners patiently create opportunities by investing the time to lay the foundations for their success, even if it is boring, tedious or repetitive.
