You need to create organisational DNA for long-term success. And thats what enables you to perform in the short term Narayana Murthy, former Chairman of Infosys Technologies
Organisations attain excellence only when leaders manage both performance and health with equal rigour Health can be defined as an organisations ability to align, execute and renew itself faster than the competition Managing health is not something you do in the future; it is about the actions you take today to deliver performance tomorrow Organisational excellence can be achieved through a five-stage process: aspire, assess, architect, act and advance

Organisations typically encounter similar pitfalls in their transformational journey to achieving performance AND health
1. The urgent drives the important out of sight 2. Pressure for progress inhibits discovery 3. Change programmes emphasisedoing different things rather than doing things differently 4. Initiatives are created independently, complementarily 5. Standardisation results in insensitivity to context 6. Planning takes the place of piloting and experimentation 7. Apparent consensus fades when challenged 8. Continuity is marginalised in the midst of change

Individual behaviours
Mindsets and beliefs What we dont see and dont know how to address
Values Timothy Gallweys ground-breaking investigation into how people develop excellence in sporting and working contexts highlights the potential negative impact mindsets can have on performance
Hamel and Prahalads thought experiment about monkeys learnedNeeds behaviour (met or unmet) illustrates their point that past experiences can create mindsets that limit current performance

... I understand what is being asked of me and it makes sense.
I see that our structures, processes, and systems support the changes I am being asked to make.
Reinforcement mechanisms

| 20
Your leaders believe they already are the change ensure they are changing as well Influence leaders are not that influential dont over-rely on them
What motivates you, does not motivate (most of) your employees tell 5 stories at once
It takes both + and - to create real energy call out both what is working and what is not
Employees are what they think address the underlying mindsets as well as the technical skills Create space for employees to practise new skills back in the workplace
Money is the most expensive way to motivate people small, unexpected gestures can have a disproportionate effect Pay careful attention to achieving fairness in processes and outcomes

Challenges of today call for new ways to lead change. The key is to help my most competent leaders develop selfreflection capacity so they can transform their own behaviours and set a new tone Gary Loveman, Chief Executive Officer and President Harrah's Entertainment
