Understanding High Performance
High performance is not just about winning or achieving specific outcomes, but about creating an environment where people can make progress and perform close to their potential. It is important to focus on narrowing the gap between our best and worst performances. High performers take accountability for their actions and constantly seek to improve. They internalize setbacks and mistakes, looking inward for ways to grow, rather than externalizing blame. A key aspect of high performance is understanding and controlling the controllables. This includes focusing on behaviors, integrity, and role modeling the desired cultural values.
