MIND, SET and MATCH
HOW EXECUTIVES WIN THE INNER GAME TO LEAD WITH IMPACT
The latest book from Rachel Treece, executive coach and CEO of The Henka Institute, on the inner game that runs beneath every decision a senior leader makes.
How the inner game shapes leadership
The phrase "inner game" describes the quieter contest that plays out inside a leader's head. Self-doubt, distraction, the pull of old habits and the noise of high-stakes moments all live in that space. Mind, Set and Match explains why these internal forces often matter more than technical skill, and how leaders who learn to steady their own attention tend to make clearer decisions and hold their nerve when conditions turn difficult.
Throughout, mindset is treated as something a leader can work on with intent, rather than a fixed trait they either have or lack.
Who this book is written for
The book speaks to senior leaders and executives who carry responsibility for people, performance and culture. Chief executives, partners, heads of function and rising leaders preparing for larger roles will find the material closest to their own experience. Coaches and leadership developers who work alongside senior clients will recognise the patterns Rachel Treece describes and can use them in their own practice.
What the book sets out
Mind, Set and Match keeps its focus on the internal side of leadership and how it shows up in daily practice. The book looks at the relationship between an executive's mindset and the decisions they make, and stays practical throughout, giving readers something they can apply rather than a theory to admire.
