Outcome focus, Podium people, Marginal gains, The human mind, Culture and core, and Winning behaviour.

This is like something from '2012', for God's sake. 'Podium people' just makes me think of some dodgy 1970s dance troop…horrible mental image of Froome in leg-warmers and leotard…

It ties in nicely with Brailsford infomercials playing on late night TV. 1-800-BRAILSFORD - You too can be a Tour de France winner wih Brailsford Self Help Guides.
Electress said:Can someone please photoshop a poster of a cyclist having a blood transfusion with 'winning behaviours' over the top.
What do you think the 'principle' (?!) of 'culture and core' actually means?

The jokers on the management committee must be living on some other planet.
2015 is going to be AWESOME.

For Armstrong the superstar athlete, his slavish attention to minute detail is much more than an amusing or frustrating personality quirk. It is a way of life....
"Yeah, I've heard that 'Mr. Millimeter' stuff," he says. "This is a natural obsession.
Chance brought them together, but
attention to detail turned Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel
into one of the most successful rider and coach partnerships in
cycling history...
?We both really want to pay attention to details. We draw
up a plan and never improvise and see how thing go,? he said.
Brailsford coined the phrase "the aggregation of marginal gains", and these five words perfectly illustrate Brailsford's management style. His attention to detail is unparalleled. He was the first manager in cycling to look at each and every area of performance in order to gain an advantage for his athletes over their rivals, and he transferred these methods to Team Sky with similar success.
Brailsford's satisfaction is derived from the self-perpetuating nature of the system he has created, by delegating authority to individuals who share his acuity, drive, restlessness and obsessive attention to detail.
Bruyneel?s approach worked to perfection and was soon being
emulated by other teams.
It has been said that Brailsford's life is utterly consumed by his work but his methods have been so successful that every sport in Britain now aspires to be a paradigm of British Cycling.
