Great insight into leadership, performance, what drive performance and most of all the equation: Performance=capabilities × culture × behaviors. Performance and sustained performance is not an addition of these 3 components but a multiplication. It's like the financial compounded interest of an initial bank deposit. It grows over time to the hights we never thought possible. A great leader pays attention to all 3 components as you mentioned and raises the bar when needed to obtain and sustain performance. It's not an easy task to do that, it looks great in theory but in practice we're dealing with people, different personalities, motivation and work ethics.
This is such a great reminder that after all, human values and interactions remain at the core of all successful projects, be it in professional or personal areas. We are all like pieces of a puzzle, and an emotionally intelligent leader knows how to put them all together into a big picture. Truly an amazing explanation of the performance formula!
I really like the puzzle analogy too Oksana. Also emotional intelligence that we've been talking a lot about in recent years plays a very important role in defining leadership as there's no leader without a team. How a leader is able to motivate, inspire, get to know the team members will make a big difference in the performance level of the team
Also excellent example of the extraordinary performance on getting a man on the moon and the breaking down of the impossible task into possible smaller tasks. This can be applied into any personal and professional challenges that we face day by day
I’m glad it resonated with you Oksana! I like the puzzle analogy too

My question for you Sebastian: which of the 3 components: capabilities, culture and behavior is the most challenging to manage?
Behaviors without a doubt !!
I understand why but I hope it gets easier with time and experience
Any good books you recommend on managing challenging behavior at work or personal? Thank you and happy Friday 😀
