Si-Fu Julian Hitch and John Vincent’s (co-founder and CEO of Leon Restaurants) best-selling book explains how, by incorporating the wisdoms of Wing Tsun, Leon Restaurants turned around from near collapse, helped expand from 17-71 restaurants and resulted in a 45% increase in profits in a very challenging sector. All whilst creating a culture a culture based on freedom, well-being and conscious living.
Winning Not Fighting is a business book about not fighting.
Instead of embracing force as the long accepted route to success, it acts as a transformational guide to work and life by inspiring positivity, simplicity and focus.
Using the ancient art of Wing Tsun, this book challenges many of our preconceived ideas about success.It reveals how we are easily influenced by fear and how the businesses we work in have adopted war as the primary metaphor that influences the culture we build.
This is not a book about being more efficient or achieving marginal gains. It provides a radical rethink for how we look at ourselves and the world.

A wondrous book..Â
...built around the collision of two deeply implausible bedfellows: Eastern martial arts and modern business culture. But what may sound like an unlikely pairing in fact yields a host of the most eye-opening ideas that won't fail to intrigue anyone with an interest in a more mindful, purpose driven and humane business world. Not least, the humanity and vulnerability of the authors shine through and make this a touching as well as inspiring read."
