\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen you watch the World Cup, Olympics or SEA Games, it may be tempting to think that the medal winners are simply born talented. The reality, however,\u00a0is that their high performance is built on countless hours of practice and driven by smart training.\n

The same applies in the workplace. High corporate performers have put in the hours to build crucial experience, and they continually push themselves to\u00a0learn and improve.<\/p>\n

If you are keen to up your game at work, here are three ways you can boost your performance by following the lead of elite athletes.<\/p>\n

1. Train individual skills<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professional basketball players don\u2019t train by simply playing game after game of basketball. Instead, their training breaks down the sport into many separate\u00a0components, such as shooting, speed and agility, strength, and tactics.<\/p>\n

Corporate leaders can raise their game with a similar approach. What are the different components of your role or profession? Depending on your industry\u00a0and background, these may include people management, financial planning or mastering new technologies, to name a few examples.<\/p>\n

Trying to boost your performance by simply willing yourself to be better at your role as a whole is unlikely to help. Instead, focus on individual components\u00a0of your role \u2013 perhaps one per quarter \u2013 and take practical steps to improve your capabilities in those specific areas.<\/p>\n

Whether you read a book, take an online course or attend a conference, homing in on one skill at a time will increase the likelihood of seeing tangible\u00a0results and will ultimately lead to better overall performance.<\/p>\n

2. Learn from your failures<\/strong><\/p>\n

In competitive sports, there is generally only one winner. Does that mean that all the professional athletes who finish in second place or at the bottom\u00a0of the table simply throw in the towel and give up?<\/p>\n

Of course not. Instead, they analyse their performance to assess where they excelled and where they lagged in order to learn from their failures and come\u00a0back stronger in the next competition.<\/p>\n

Whether in sports or in business, high performance is not about reaching a specific level. Rather, it\u2019s about striving for continuous improvement as you\u00a0reach ever higher. As a leader, you have an opportunity for learning and improvement every time you fail or your team faces a setback. Seizing these\u00a0opportunities will keep you on an upward trajectory overall, even if you don\u2019t finish in first place every time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Step away to recharge<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elite athletes typically don\u2019t compete year-round. Most sports have an off-season during which everyone takes a break, and with good reason: athletes need\u00a0time off to recharge physically, mentally and emotionally from the strain of competition.<\/p>\n

High performance in the corporate world is similar. Although you are striving to perform at your best on a sustained basis, but that doesn\u2019t mean 24\/7,\u00a0365 days per year.<\/p>\n

Taking time away from work for an off-season recharge can help you push your performance one step higher upon your return. This is a valuable opportunity\u00a0to explore other personal interests, build deeper connections with family and friends, and come back to work with fresh perspectives.<\/p>\n

Smart strategies for better performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Becoming a high performer is not a journey you can make overnight. However, you can make it a smoother and smarter journey by taking inspiration from the\u00a0sporting world.<\/p>\n

For elite athletes and business leaders alike, high performance requires a desire for improvement and a commitment to ongoing growth. By focusing on targeted\u00a0improvement, learning from your mistakes and stepping away to recharge from time to time, you can up your game at work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
