Optimal Performance: Leading Through Drudgery

In this episode of the Leader Lounge, Martin discusses optimal performance and its relevance for teams and organisations. 

The three distinct performance models:

• Peak Performance ⛰️: This model involves meticulous planning to achieve a desired outcome at a specific point in time. 

  Optimal Performance 📈: This is the model most relevant for everyday life and work. It's about responding to daily situations and doing the best you can with the time and resources you have. 

  High Performance 🚀: This is presented as a byproduct of continuous optimal performance. A team or individual achieves high performance by maintaining an optimal performance state over a period of time while staying aligned with their goal.

Martin also highlights four key attributes that enable people and leaders to perform in times of drudgery:

Courage: The ability to manage fear and step into difficulty despite that fear.

• Discipline: The ability to remain focused to achieve an outcome despite delays. This includes both self-discipline (resisting temptation) and external discipline (accomplishing the task).

• Resilience: The ability to return to a baseline emotional and mental state after a stressful event.

• Persistence: The determined continuance in a course of action despite opposition or delay.
