Building High Performance Cultures
Thriving companies have thriving cultures. And cultures thrive when everyone contributes.
When you ask individuals on a team what are their strengths and passions, you are optimizing for individual performance. To find and build, high performing teams, ask about an everyday strength or passion individuals could share with the group. Something they believe will make a meaningful difference to the group as a whole.
Now this is optimizing for group performance, company performance.
I love to conduct design thinking activity to find this strengths & passion wall when I am coaching groups. At the end of the workshop, I ask group to keep that wall somewhere central in their office or as a team page on web.
Seeing us as a part of a group, gives a sense of fulfillment towards singular vision, goal of the company. It also boosts persons confidence and challenge them to do even better.
High performance cultures are those where individuals are aiming for their own peak performance while winning as a team.
Life lessons that you can’t afford to ignore
How to know what you really want?
Exploring what you really want can be a challenging task. Calling it a passion, or a purpose makes it even more overwhelming. Here are some of the best ways to explore what you really want:
Try new things: Take the time to try new activities, hobbies, or experiences that you have never done before. This could include traveling to new places, trying different foods, learning a new language, or taking up a new sport or hobby. Doing things that I've never done before, is my goal every year. This year I'm learning Ice Skating. You never know what you may discover about yourself and your interests through new experiences.
Reflect on past experiences: Reflect on activities or situations from past that made you feel happy, and energized. This could include volunteer work, projects at work or school, or hobbies that you have enjoyed in the past.
Set goals: Set clear and specific goals for yourself in various areas of your life, such as career, health, and relationships. This will help you focus your energy and effort towards achieving what you really want.
Talk to others: Talk to friends, family, or a coach about your interests and aspirations. They may have valuable insights for you, or even know of opportunities that align with your passions.
Journaling: Writing down your thoughts and feelings can help you gain clarity. Write about your dreams, goals, and aspirations to help you identify what you really want.
Discovering what you really want takes time and effort, but it is worth it to find something that brings you joy & fulfillment. You’ve got this!
