Side Mirror: Four Real Stories of Handbrakes in Action

When I introduce leaders to the Fulfilling Performance framework with its four Diagnostic Questions, they invariably appreciate its simplicity. They find Step 1 relatively easy. This is the part where we use the four questions to identify the most likely sources of unseen friction or handbrakes as we call them. I covered Step 1 in last week's Side Mirror episode where I explained how Fulfilling Performance is a simple tool we can use to act on engagement every single day. Step 2 i...

Side Mirror: A Simple Tool to Act on Engagement Every Single Day

I was listening to an interview with Ellyn Shook recently. Ellyn is the Chief Human Resources Officer of Accenture where she is responsible for 774,000 people. She told Michael Gervais on his Finding Mastery podcast that if companies could figure out how to give their leaders tools to act on engagement every day they would see a big difference. The Fulfilling Performance framework is that tool and in this Side Mirror episode I share how I introduce leaders to how it works and get them u...

Side Mirror: When the Thing is Not the Thing

In this Side Mirror, I want to talk about “the thing is not the thing.” It’s about those situations where what looks like the issue on the surface turns out not to be the real issue underneath.

Side Mirror: Releasing Handbrakes - Don't Try to Boil the Ocean

In today’s Side Mirror, I reflect on a week working with three different teams in Melbourne—one was a peer mentoring group and two were the leadership teams at automotive OEMs. It was a fulfilling week, and their feedback reminded me how quickly people can grasp the Fulfilling Performance framework—and how much more they want time to practice releasing handbrakes once they’ve spotted them. So I want to share how you can move from identifying friction to defining practical actions—and why thos...

Side Mirror: 13 ways Fulfilling Performance changes the game.

No matter how bright and experienced we are, thankfully there are still exciting new developments that can surprise us with their potential. I am fortunate to have seen my belief in the power of Fulfilling Performance ignited in others. I’ve seen people pick up the framework, run with it, apply it in ways I hadn’t even thought of, and come back to share what they’d learned. When someone really gets it, they see the incredible range of situations it applies to, and it changes the way they thin...

Side Mirror: Smarter than a smart phone

In this Side Mirror, I compare two game-changing tools—one globally recognised, the other perhaps still flying under the radar.
