The Performance Paradox: How Focusing on Performance Can Hurt Results
Focusing solely on performance can actually hinder our results, which is counterintuitive. When we fixate on executing and minimizing mistakes, our performance suffers. This is because we often neglect the learning zone, where growth happens. Acrobats, athletes, and performers spend time in the learning zone, making mistakes and focusing on improvement. However, many of us spend most of our time in the performance zone, trying to get things done perfectly. To become fantastic learners and performers, we need to develop a growth mindset, embrace the learning zone, and engage in proactive habits that drive our own change. Building trust and collaboration within our communities is also crucial for effective learning and growth.
