July 19, 2018 by Babette Ten Haken Leave a Comment

Some employees’ professional performance is consistently up-and-down.

Either they create solid, positive output and outcomes or poor ones. There is no middle ground. Even in the presence of processes and protocols to follow, these professionals do not find value in professional discipline. As a result, they often become distracted by unimportant side issues or lack the insight to prioritize the most important outcomes on their plates.

Consequently, these professionals have no idea what is involved to achieve professional performance consistency. Not only that. They have no desire to find out how to hit the performance bullseye, even once. In fact, their inconsistency is the only consistent element of their performance.

Other individual’s professional performance is consistent, but mediocre.

They never waiver from creating the minimum acceptable level of output and outcomes. They live in the land of the middle ground. As a result, they follow processes and protocols in a disciplined manner. However, their priority is reinforcing mediocrity. So, while these employees will keep an organization in business, their performance is unremarkable and lacks distinction and innovation.

As a result, these professionals are more than happy to achieve professional performance consistency by continuously aiming in the general vicinity of the acceptable areas of the performance target. They never quite hit the bulls eye or, if they do, it is a rare event.

Then, there are those professionals whose professional performance consistency is game-changing.

They consistently seek out “What’s Next?” within their professional discipline, industry trends and client portfolios. These professionals differentiate your organization, because they are comfortable being consistently uncomfortable. As a result, they create remarkable, enduring and innovative customer-focused output and outcomes. In the presence of processes and protocols, they consistently target their own continuous improvement.

These professionals achieve professional performance consistency by continuously aiming at hitting a constantly shifting innovation target. They target professional disruption. As a result, they consistently are in control of processes and have the discipline to take risks to aim at new, innovative targets. These professionals are lifelong learners and are comfortable with the inconsistency and uncertainty of taking risks.
