Episode Highlights:
- The Misconception of High Performance: Nicky and Ness highlight the common misunderstanding of high performance as it's often equated with long hours and hustle culture.
- Defining High Performance: The hosts stress the importance of having a clear definition of high performance tailored to your business and culture. They encourage businesses to define high performance not only in terms of results but also behaviour, values, and teamwork.
- The 70-20-10 Framework: Nicky introduces the 70-20-10 model by Andy Meikle, dividing high performance into three components.
- Balancing Results and Influence: The hosts discuss the balance between achieving results and being a person of influence, stressing the importance of curiosity and flexibility.
- The Significance of Grace:They explain that grace extends beyond the workplace, affecting personal life and relationships.
- The Power of the Framework: Nicky and Ness highlight how the 70-20-10 framework fosters a high-performance environment by focusing on the holistic development of team members. It allows teams to uncover underlying issues and collaborate more effectively, improving both performance and well-being.

By applying the 70-20-10 model and defining high performance in their organisation, listeners can create a thriving workplace that values results, influence, and grace, ultimately leading to better outcomes and happier, more engaged teams.
