What does it take to achieve high performance?

What does high performance even mean?

Last month in Zurich was rather different than usual, because I left the traditional open space facilitator role and went into more of a mentoring role, sharing my own experience in our problem solving sessions. This month I plan to continue in that form.

My main project this month is researching the what is needed to achieve the state you might call “high performance” in real life. I am conducting intensive interviews with agile leadership in many organizations to understand the challenge.  Although I am still researching, some patterns are starting to emerge.

What do you need to achieve high performance? This is my current hypothesis:

• A higher purpose to achieve (making money isn’t enough).
• A team spirit among all members of the project (not just the “dev team”).
• Leadership enabling the pre-conditions for high performance
• A learning culture that includes management / leadership
• The ability to deliver bug free software in short, regular intervals

I look forward to sharing experiences a great session of sharing and learning!
