The most important new system you could implement is one that enables you to evaluate and align behaviors with values. The sense of accomplishment from crafting a powerful values statement is misplaced.

. . Why people participate in an activity affects their performance in that activity. The motive affects their performance. Even though many organizations rely on money to drive performance, most of us know from our personal lives that motivation is much more complicated. There is a spectrum of reasons why people do their jobs (or lose weight). Understanding that spectrum is the key to creating the highest levels of performance.

When another way comes along that could improve results, they often put up a wall that says, if it wasn’t invented here, then it won’t work for us. Even people who genuinely want to improve results and who admit others’ success with different practices can find ways to block having to adopt those practices for themselves.

More than once you’ve probably looked at some new digital or technological development and asked yourself, “How did we miss that?” In order to chart the best way forward, you must understand emerging trends: what they are, what they aren’t, and how they operate.

I have pushed the competencies approach into several new areas over the years, including parenting , stress management , and even love , but the area whe
