High Performance Thinking

.
.
When it comes to an organisation’s scarcest resource – good staff/talent – the difference between the best and the rest is enormous.

Teams led by strong, purposeful, decisive, engaging leaders and Managers can and have profound effect on the outcomes and performance of their teams.

In fact these teams consistently outperform others by tree times with the added bonus of allowing the Leader/Manager to spend more time on broader initiatives and less time in dealing with team conflict, motivation and consistency of delivery.

Some examples of High Performers which outperform others by a country mile:
The best developer at Apple is at least 9 times as productive as the average software engineer at other technology companies.
The best blackjack dealer at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas keeps his table playing at least 5 times as long as the average dealer on the strip.
The best sales associate at Nordstrom sells at least 8times as much as the average sales associate at other department stores.
The best transplant surgeon has a success rate at least 6 times that of the average transplant surgeon.
