Winning Not Fighting
draws on the philosophy of Wing Tsun, an ancient Chinese martial art, to offer a profound and practical guide to achieving success at work, life and business.

By explaining what these teachings reveal about decision-making, professional relationships, personal targets and positivity, it challenges some of our deepest-held assumptions and forces us to unlearn many ideas that inform our current ideas on professional success.

Why, for example, do we refer to business through a lens of conflict? Why does winning always require confrontation, competition and a loser? John Vincent and Julian Hitch challenge our ingrained assumptions about success and achievement to to guide us through a path of self-cultivation using the eight wisdoms of Wing Tsun.

John Vincent, the co-founder of LEON, has applied these mantras to his healthy fast-food empire with enormous success. In Winning Not Fighting, he collaborates with Wing Tsun master, Sifu Julian Hitch to sculpt this timeless wisdom into a practical and accessible guide to achieving success for your business.

Critic reviews

A wondrous book 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.
A timely piece of work that unites business and martial arts in a realistic, practical and intelligent way. It's capitalism, but not as we know it
Winning Not Fighting provides a wholly new perspective to finding balance and success
I highly recommend it

This book is a must for anyone who wants to improve their life or business. Martial arts enthusiasts will also get a lot from this book but perhaps not find the business improvement case studies as interesting.

An excellent book for business people!

wasn't a bad book, only it was totally ruined by splitting reading in two with one reader inaudible.

Two readers. One good. One terrible.

I wanted to love this book and hoped there would be some valuable principles throughout. Instead, it was mostly a business case study of Leon and a handful of other fast casual restaurants with a side serving about Enneagrams (personality tests). The author includes self-promotional anecdotes to support his beliefs, but they’re more effective as marketing tools. Very disappointing book.

More promotional material than valuable tools

I love ancient martial art, and everything ancient speaks of wisdom, when applied by the 21st-century person, can result in something spectacular.
This book just does that.
Listen or read and then make notes. I found it the best way to digest its content.
Thank you, John and Julian 🙏😊🇬🇧🥁🎸
