About this audiobook

In November 2004, Red Bull bought a losing team that Ford no longer wanted. Twenty years later, it had won eight drivers’ titles and six constructors’ titles. Then, within three years, the four men who built it were gone. This is not a book about Formula 1. It is about the system behind the winning: a cause written before the team existed, unusual trust placed in a few people, and results that ended up testing the cause itself. Each chapter tells a real, dated story, then turns it into a question about your own organisation. It does not ask you to copy Red Bull. It holds up a mirror. Book One of the Systems and Performance series, by Théophile Hibon, who works alongside business leaders on the systems that produce lasting performance. Narrated in a digital voice created from the author’s own. An independent analysis, not endorsed by Red Bull or anyone mentioned.
