Once in a while somebody comes along and writes a definitive masterwork on a subject. There's little need to read much else on the topic because they've communicated the essential information with such command, concision — and above all pragmatism — that everything else feels second rate or even superfluous.

In my opinion James A. King's Accelerating Excellence is such a book. If you are interested in achieving your potential, if you aspire to excellence, or if you manage or lead teams where high performance matters, this is the book you need to read, and you can purge your shelves of all those pop psychology and self-help books that never got you anywhere in the first place.

Highly recommended.
