THE SCIENCE BEHIND A NEW WORLD OF WORK

Introduction

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. To dig more into what a high-performing organisation is and to uncover the gulf between leaders and employees, check out the complete research report. Otherwise, read on for a practical look at how to build the team you need, backed up with even more exclusive data from our research. Don’ t just meet your performance objectives. Exceed them with this scientific approach.

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 high-performing 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 4. Openness to risk taking innovation 5. A culture of learning and growth 6. Operational / process excellence 7. Agility and adaptability to change 8. Commitment to recruiting, retaining, and developing top talent 9. High employee engagement 10. Future focus and investment. p
