High Performance Leadership

High Performance: A Way of Being

High performance is the ability to consistently produce exceptional results while staying true to one’s essential values. It is dependent upon a state of internal clarity and external flow in which we relate to circumstances with unusual passion, creativity, and commitment.

What Sets Great Performers Apart?

There are precise principles and mental models that characterize outstanding performers no matter what their field. High performance cannot be reached simply by applying a set formula, however. With technical competence as a foundation, it can be achieved through a process of learning that has two distinct components:

• It reveals the underlying principles of high performance to us in immediate, practical, and personally useful ways.
• It progressively eliminates the internal obstacles that hold us back.

Self-Knowledge: The Key to Powerful Leadership

The cornerstone of our work with leaders is Socrates’ dictum, "Know thyself." Visionary leaders know more than just their own organizations or industries; they have developed an intimacy with themselves that allows them to utilize their personal strengths with rare effectiveness. Through self-knowledge one comes to personal commitment; through personal commitment one comes to a rich sense of meaning in professional life.

Getting to High Performance

New Line uses a combination of intensive training, executive coaching, strategic planning, and group problem solving to facilitate a comprehensive shift in organizational performance. Our style is dynamic and highly participatory, incorporating new conceptual models, interactive learning games, personal feedback, and practical application.

Typical Format:
2-3 day intensive training plus follow up

"For years to come, most of our senior leadership will refer to the tools they learned in their experience with New Line. We are sold on the fact that good leadership and satisfied employees reap good quality care and thus satisfied customers. And we have data to prove it. After a year of incorporating the values and tools by New Line, our employee satisfaction surveys have increased by over 20% in the key areas we wanted to address and we anticipate making a profit in a year we had budgeted for a loss. That`s what we’ve created with the tools we learned from New Line."
