The behavior leaders and employees exhibit day-to-day, both individually and when working together, is the ultimate determinant of success.

No matter how great the strategy is, or how aligned the structures, processes, and skills are, if people are not behaving in ways that generate value, the organization will not survive long term.

 
 

BEHAVIOR

Accelerating the value produced in how people work together

There are many models of high performance behavior. Mastery in the disciplines shown below requires leaders to become aware of their own mental models and ways of thinking. Only then are they able to shift their patterns of thinking and intentionally choose to act in ways that add the most value. Without a commitment to these types of high performance behaviors, organizations tend to drift toward fragmentation rather than alignment, excuses rather than accountability, and fear rather than learning. People become resigned to conflicts and breakdowns around them rather than being empowered to overcome them. This natural “drift” toward mediocrity is something we need to counteract every day.

 
 
Throughout history, the really fundamental changes in societies have come about not from dictates of governments and the results of battles but through vast numbers of people changing their minds—sometimes only a little bit.
