PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ Formula One racing is not just one of the world's most watched sports with 500 million views worldwide it is first, and foremost, a business. Although it may not be immediately obvious what a sport like F1 can teach business leaders, there are plenty of lessons to be offered.

For example, Formula One falls into the manufacturing sector. They design, develop, build and operate a high end product - a Formula One car - which integrates technologies familiar to anyone engaged in aerospace, automotive or IT.

  • Leadership

  • Innovation
  • Performance Management
  • Communication

The book is a how-to manual on not just managing, but thriving in a fast-moving, competitive environment. Gallagher brings the drama of F1 business to life in vivid detail and outlines the essential skills that no business or business leader can be without.
