Eight proven methods to creating high performance

Eight proven methods to creating high performance

We recently commissioned a survey, talking to 1500 employees and 150 C-Suite executives across the public and private sectors. The result? Leaders and employees have a huge misalignment about what a high-performing organisation looks like. And while 91 % of employees said their team was high performing, just 51 % of leaders agreed with them. 98 % of leaders believe their organisation has the ability to be high performing. But one in two leaders say they don’ t have a clear understanding of what creates high performance. One thing is clear: leaders are worried about their ability to deliver. If you’ re one of the 75 % of leaders worried about how they’ re going to achieve high performance in the year ahead, this guide is for you.

Using this guide to create a high performance culture

With additional research by André de Waal, we’ ve uncovered ten pillars of high performance. A highperforming organisation will make use of all of them at some point or another, but you will need to reprioritise depending on the challenges at play.

They are:

1. Shared vision and goals 2. People given empowerment and autonomy 3. Clear communication, collaboration and feedback

60 % of leaders aren’ t clear on their personal goals for the year ahead, let alone the goals of the organisation at large.

Is it any wonder that employees aren’ t matching their leaders’ expectations? If no one has a clear picture of their end goal or the timeline to achieve it, they’ ll never know when they’ ve got there.

The solution here involves taking things back to the drawing board. p
