How to develop aHigh Performance

Inspiration by Mikael Trolle & Allan Levann

Why Performance leadership?

We must increase our productivity, competitiveness and growth.We don’t have to work more. We have to perform better.

We have to change our mindset from work to performance.From work hours to performance hours.

The Performance mindset

We needs to change the traditional perception of what it takes to create results.

We need a new understanding of the concept of performance and plant this idea in every employee as a performance enhancing seed

that will optimize their abilities.

It is not just about work hours; it is about performance hours. Through this, growth and competitiveness is strengthened without

undermining personal balance, passion and enthusiasm.

High Performance

”Perfectionism, endurance and innovation are the basics that have to be present – and with great respect to timing and balance – to create a launch pad for high performance.”

Perfectionism, endurance and innovation

”Passion is the driving force,the lifeblood, and one ofthe prerequisites for high performance.

The problem is often that passion is underestimated as a performance factor, because it is difficult to measure and judge.

Therefore it is often overlooked in the competing competences as the foundation for performance.”

1. Create meaning and passion

“If you eliminate progress and innovation to only focus on systems and increased productivity, you run the risk of losing sight of high performance.”

2. Ensure progress and performance co-exist

”Everyone possesses different potential. Only when an individual’s potential is realized to the maximum capacity, can it be determined whether it is in fact a talent”

3. Release your talent and realize your potential

”We live in the age of generalists,so to know it all has become an insult. We should instead pay tribute to the experts, because they offer the competences needed for high performance.”

4. Rely on experts

”High performance takes place only by the team that understands the importance of establishing a framework, defining roles and relations and by exerting leadership; this is what creates meaning, engagement and motivation.”

5. Have the courage to pick a team - and to be selective

”Feedback, or perhaps better described as ‘feed forward,’ describes the difference in our intentions, the subsequent actions and the final result.

In this area of tension lies knowledge about new opportunities, new actions and new results as well as the foundation for developing high performance.”

6. Give detailed and acknowledging feedback

”Praise strengthens engagement and creates an acknowledging approach to learning; the error-finding culture is replaced by a search for and staging of the desired performance.”

7. Praise often and sincerely

”High performance is only obtained when the team-culture is based on individuals’ needs, not just to ensure their job satisfaction, but more importantly to ensure the individuals engagement and need for respect and acknowledgement.”

8. Create a team-culture – for individualists as well

”The experiences of a lifetime are downloaded by the brain on our subconscious hard disk, where intuition is derived. The interplay of intuition and our conscious knowledge together with an overview of the unknown makes the foundation for high performance judgment.”

9. Use your intuition and good judgment

High Performance Flow Theory ®After Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Performance requires engagement .... Job satisfaction doesn’t create performance by itself ....Engagement is characterized as (Gallup):• understanding what role you have.• understanding what is expected.• being able to do one’s best. • committing to doing what is expected.• feeling valued and acknowledged.

Performance and engagement
