Creating a Performance Culture
Whether you are in the business of winning medals or producing widgets, the success of your business is dependent on creating an environment in which people can perform at their best.
We’ve seen in recent years that governing bodies and clubs who have created an effective performance ‘organisation’ are reaping the rewards at major championships. That is no accident. Just as ‘normal’ employees do not work in a vacuum, neither do your athletes and coaches.
First of all, you need to know what performance looks like. It’s no good saying “we want to win 10 medals at the next Olympics” if you can’t answer the question “how?”.
You also need to understand how well the organisation is equipped to deliver that performance.
Both of these can be defined in terms of the values and behaviours, structures and systems that promote or hamper performance.
Once you know where you are, and where you want to get to, you can start to consider the conversations and adjustments required to get you there.
I can help you by:
- Helping you to articulate and communicate the performance that you wish to create
- Taking a structured, independent look at the drivers of, and barriers to, delivery of that performance that currently exist
- Working with you to design and develop action plans and interventions to bridge the gap between the two
- Helping you to implement the changes involved.
