Success

Having the most significant impact over the most extended period is one way to define success broadly. The effect of the outcome being more significant than the original expectation—the wider the variance between the anticipation and the result, the more influential the impact.

Controlling Insights has three features:

1. Multiplying effect that has x10 Influence on excellence
2. Applies to a wide range of cases
3. Guides Action

Controlling Insights can be equated to the Pareto principle. It is the limited 20% of activities that gives 80% of the results. Let us explore some controlling insights.

Caveats

Performance and Risks are the two sides of the same coin. The hardest thing about Performance is knowing what you need to measure to be tied back to your mission statement.

Management is practice; it is not knowing but doing. The test is not logic but results; its only authority is Performance. A manager has got to remember that he is on stage every day. His people are watching him. Everything he does, everything he says, and the way he says it sends off clues to his employees. These clues affect Performance. Be first-class in performance; people are taking notes. Clients are taking notes.

Managers convert talent into Performance and deliver value. Talent is the IT factor that one is born by the values that make it reoccurring, something you naturally want to do and love to do. You cannot teach talent. It has to be naturally selected and makes the variance and range in Performance.

on Performance

1. It is about action, just start, and the next step will be revealed
2. Get feedback
3. See the gap between your current position and the goal, take action, repeat

3 elements of personal Performance:

1. Never lose sight of being number 1, even as success begins to happen,
2. Knowing when to peak in performance and when to throttle up and down will contribute to your life span and Performance. Taking a breath gives you fresh energy to create
3. Never becomes complacent with success but seeks to go higher than it has ever been before. One day of practice missed, I see it, two days missed in practice, the critics see it, three days missed, and the patrons see it that Performance has dropped.

The customer experience does not end in a purchase, but they will review Performance and create perception. The quality of this perception can be mathematically represented as Quality = Performance – Expectations, the wider that gap, the more the quality.

PITFALLS

1. Sleeping too little
2. Planning only affects 15% of performance, so it is better to measure than to estimate.
3. Picking Performance over people is just a poor choice.
4. Wrong timing in Stacking tasks

3 ACTIONS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

1. Going to bed early, peak performance is summoned by +ve emotional feelings. waking early and immediately running hard to help optimize Performance
2. Connection over Perfection: Have good intentions and smile. Commonality impacts performance so don’t correct others especially over semantics. Connect with clients, Connect with managers and connect with team members.
3. Compete Daily: Feedback and evaluation are based on performance, not the person. Beat your last personal best. The effort is different from the Performance outcome, but I appreciate it.
