Rinku Singh – Five Consecutive Sixes: The Goal-Setting Story Every Professional Should Know
In the last over of a 2023 IPL match, Rinku Singh hit five consecutive sixes to win an impossible game. I unpack what he actually did in his mind before that over, and how the same technique builds Productivity Quotient at work.
