As a Human Resources leader, I have dedicated my three decade career to exploring human potential and fostering high performance in individuals and teams. In the early years, it appeared that performance was driven by education and relentless hard work. However, as complexity and scale increased, effective collaboration emerged as a crucial factor. Serving as the Chief Learning Officer at Accenture, I recognized that learning and performance were inextricably linked, and a scientific approach to learning led to superior organizational outcomes. Later, when tasked with overhauling an outdated performance management system, it became evident that focus, leveraging strengths, fostering a strong team culture, and cultivating honest conversations were the cornerstones of high performance.
In recent times, I have had the privilege of collaborating with world-class scientists, organizational experts and high performance coaches. This video shares insights into the foundational element that underpins sustained high performance – a crucial topic for leaders as they navigate unprecedented challenges.
