The Spotlight Mentality: Position and Perception Create Peak Performance

Corporate culture has invested billions in becoming more efficient and streamlined. It divvies up any extra profit to lure and keep top talent, while fighting the good fight against low employee engagement, a tough economy, and a steady stream of technological changes.

So, what matters to the people actually doing YOUR business right now? What kinds of ideas will spark their enthusiasm for their work in such a way that it burns brightly enough to increase their current performance and engagement, AND can also grow into an all-consuming passion they can nurture over the lifetime of their careers?

Fortune Magazine’s “Best 100 Companies to Work For” article shows over-and-over again how companies lose talent, engagement and ground, when they that allow their employees to feel as replaceable as parts in a machine that can simply be unscrewed and swapped out whenever the notion strikes senior management.

This pattern of thought, which Derek Selinger calls the “assembly line mentality”, is as archaic as the industrial revolution, yet it is still pervasive in corporate culture today!

Derek exposes how ineffective the assembly line mentality has become and establishes that every single person in your organization has an opportunity – and an obligation – to shine in the workplace. He does this by teaching his audience “The Spotlight Mentality”: how to use position and perception to create their very own peak performance in work and in life.

The magic happens as this idea of being in the spotlight every time they work the magic you hired them to perform captures the imagination of each member of your team, taking hold to drive them on to be better participants in their work, their community and their lives… because as they engage their talent and passions, they unlock their potential of achieving better results than ever before!
