The medal is a ‘currency’ but not the main thing. It is a symbol. The ‘values they value’ drive real high performers.
What values make high performers? Their own!
-They are aware of them (there are no good and bad, it is how they live them)
-They can articulate them (they are aware of the main things)
-They bring them to life (you can see them in action)
-They drive exceptional performance
-Repeat
A novice and true expert performer differ in Value self-awareness! It is the rock in the choppy waters and the medal behind the medal.
