Performance Matters - Closing Thoughts

Performance Matters - not just some but all of the time!


Why? Because performance is how reputations are forged. It's how opportunity takes root. It's how growth is nurtured. It's how reward is is justified. It's how communities are served, how jobs are secured, how excellence is evolved, and how people are provoked to rise to their potential. ...Because we owe it to ourselves and those around us. When we perform well we create value and build trust. Why would one settle for less?


Performance is multidimensional and complexly integrated. Performance is a matter of purpose, promise, potential, persistence, and pride - the stuff that inspires the human spirit and attracts talent. 


The Performance Matters Matrix provides a potent framework for the replication of high performance practice cultures. This framework is relatively easy to understand and makes intuitive sense but is neither quick nor easy to implement. Building a high performance culture is a journey but it all begins with a very simple but intentional decision - I will do it. 


Replication is not expensive, in fact, it is value generating. What is required is a modest investment in leadership to bring out the best in people. One must also acknowledge that some people are quite satisfied with mediocre - they must be be pruned away to allow resources to nurture the performance culture to enable it to blossom. 


I hope this Performance Matters blog series has stimulated a sense possibility for you. Few will set out on the performance journey because most people are satisfied with mediocre.  But perhaps you will be one of them who do - if so, it will be a life changing journey professionally and personally.  It will touch your mind,body and spirit. It will touch those around you as well and they will thank you. If you would like to explore the possibilities, be in touch with me. 


Thank you for your interest in the Performance Matters Series! 


All The Best
