Ours is a performance driven world, especially for managers and executives.. They feel the constant pressure to hit critical numbers in terms of production and profits. To meet those expectations, they are continually tweaking their own performance and the performance of their team.
In this episode we examine the basic principle of performance enhancement advanced 40 years ago by Timothy Gallwey in his book The Inner World of Tennis. Gallwey had an unswerving belief that people genuinely want to perform well. What holds them back is some type of interference which thwarts their potential.
His formula for performance was therefore to eliminate the interference so that higher performance can blossom. The type if nterference which Gallwey addressed is internal. It's the self-deprecating self-talk which we easily slip into whenever we make a serious mistake, fail at an important task, or face a daunting challenge..
But performance-stifling interference can also be external. And these external performance inhibitors are the subject of this episode. Dr. Mike calls on managers reframe the way that they think about weak performance on the part of their people. He urges managers to develop an initial instinct to look for the interference, whether internal or external, which is choking off greater performance.
