What you can expect in the lecture: “The 3Ms: a New Model of Sustainable Performance”:
The old model of performance is based on Endurance: we push through, plough on and pretend we’re doing okay. We cannot endure when there is a 24/7 digital avalanche of tasks, meetings and distractions. We are burning out in record numbers. A new model of sustainable performance is emerging that is a win-win for productivity and wellbeing. It creates space through workplace design and cultural norms for deep focus and renewal. But there is a major obstacle: How do you get leaders to role model new ways of working so they become the new norm for the whole organisation? They will have to let go of old ways of working that have led to their career success, and are part of their identity.
In his lecture, Ronan Harrington will share a new framework used by leading companies to reinforce sustainable performance behaviors. He will present the 4M model: Mindsets, Mechanisms and Modeling.
