Effective leaders know how to release untapped potential in their team. Do you?

In his excellent book ‘Effective Coaching’, Myles Downey describes a simple formula that explains exactly what is going on when individuals and teams perform at a higher level…

Performance = Potential – Interference 

• Performance is what the team or individual is actually achieving
• Potential is what the team or individual is capable of achieving
• Interference is what is getting in the way

So, to increase Performance, it’s a case of reducing Interference.

So when you look at how you, your team or individuals within your team are performing, what’s causing the ‘Interference’?

Is it…

• You? Are you getting in the way?
• Fear of failure?
• Fear of success?
• Lack of confidence?
• Boredom?
• Negative self-talk?
• Friction within the team?
• Lack of clarity about the goal or what is expected?
• A combination of the above?
• Something else?

As a leader, what do you have in place to find out? And what will you do and when will you do it, to release that higher level of performance?

What’s your experience? What do you think?
