What is performance culture?

Performance culture is a term used to describe what we’re working toward when we dive in on the how and why of what your organisation is seeking to achieve. It’s also a state of being for your organisation – one where your workers are dedicated and determined to get the results you want.

Performance by Design helps businesses all over the world generate a performance culture with a combination of one-on-one coaching, team training, and the development of culture codes to drive cohesion and facilitate a better standard of work.

How do you create a culture of high performance?

High performance is a function of both individual capabilities and the support that your teams provide each other in pushing for a higher standard of work. By putting the work into clarifying key organisational values, reinforcing behaviours that support those values, and staying attuned to the work of your employees, you’ll be on the way to creating a high-performance culture already.

How does company culture affect performance?

Company or organisational culture is a term that we use to refer to the collective results of how people on your teams think and behave at work. It informs everything – from the health and happiness of your workers through to your bottom line.

Maintaining a healthy company culture ensures that your teams are supported, that they know where to look when they don’t have the answers themselves, and that they know they can contribute best by working together.

What are the key components of high-performance work?

Creating a high-performance team is all about getting structured in your efforts and sticking to it. Our leadership consultants will tell you that it’s a combination of planning, and a willingness to have difficult conversations that will be the biggest contributor to your success or failure in generating a high-performance work culture.

How do I get more out of my team?

Getting more out of your team is all about empowering them collectively to work better together. This requires a deft touch and a great deal of trust between workers, leaders, and the organisation as a whole. The team at Performance by Design can help you empower your team, and push for better in their performance with coaching and evidence-based training.

How do I have honest conversations with my team?

Honest and open communication is an essential component of a high-performance workplace. But facilitating those conversations is not always so clear cut. Through one-on-one leadership coaching, the team at Performance by Design can assist your leaders in developing the ability to have open and honest communication about the topics that need to be talked out.

How do I get my team to self manage?

Self-managing teams have a knack for eliminating bureaucracy and operating much more effectively than their closely managed counterparts. Encouraging your team to self manage is all about demonstrating trust, and encouraging your teams to take the initiative where possible. In teams with a diverse range of skills, it’s also important to ensure that a culture of mutual respect is in place.
