The Importance of Surrounding Yourself with Top Performers for Increased Performance
Surrounding yourself with top performers can significantly increase your performance. A study across 58,000 hours in 11 companies found that sitting within 25 feet of a top performer can boost your performance by 15%, regardless of your own intelligence, work ethic, or skills. This means that if you make $100,000 a year, you could be making $115,000 just by being in close proximity to a high achiever. On the flip side, sitting near a poor performer can decrease your performance by 30%. Therefore, it is crucial to be mindful of who you surround yourself with, the company you work for, and the conversations you partake in. If you are currently surrounded by individuals who are not driven or growing, not only will you be dissatisfied with your work and income, but you will also perform worse than your potential. Conversely, being in a company with a group of high achievers can elevate your performance beyond what you thought possible.
