Unquestionably, Woods' life and achievements provide a superlative metaphor for that purpose, given Woods' current standing as the world's preeminent golfer and the enormous amount of business that gets transacted nowadays on the world's golf courses.
To drive that metaphor home, Booth presents the analogy of a nine-hole course, with each of the nine chapters or holes, representing a trait that contributes to Woods' winning ways on the links, in business and in his personal life.
Tiger's nine traits are:
* Identify and develop natural talents.
* Create a clear and compelling dream.
* Select teachers, heroes and teammates who guide, inspire and support.
* Be confident.
* Manufacture magnificent mental models.
* Let actions do the talking.
* Constantly improve in good times and bad.
* Be likable.
* Be grateful and give back.
