I often speak with business owners who focus on PERFORMANCE.
Don’t get me wrong!
Performance is critical. It is the lifeblood of our organizations.
Without Performance…
- Clients get frustrated
- Employees get frustrated
- The CEO gets frustrated
- The shareholders get frustrated
- Employees’ families get frustrated…
- … You get the point!
The challenge that we all must face is an important one. What does performance mean & how can we link it to a meaningful purpose? A few years ago, my team created this slide.
The context in which you define “success” is closely linked to the purpose which drives you & your organization.
To put it all in context and understand how to move forward…
- Is your purpose to become a well-oiled machine winning a Formula 1 race? In this context – you may see your team as a “Competitor”
- Is your purpose to become an amazing service provider delivering value to clients through maintaining & enhancing their lives? In this context – you may see your team as “Collaborators”
- Is your purpose to fix broken things? In this context – you may see your team as a “Family”
There is no “right” or “wrong” answer but becoming aware of the context in which you view performance will shed light on the type of people & processes that you need to establish for your team to succeed.
Keep moving forward!
