If you want to realize your career goals and dreams, you must achieve peak performance. Consistently performing at a high level leads to opportunities that will enhance and develop your skills and attributes for your current role and the next role you are pursuing.
Why is performance important? Here are four reasons why performance matters.
1. Advancement – If you want to advance your career or if you're going to move up the ranks at your current place of employment, you have to be able to get the job done. However, getting the job done is not enough. It is best to get the work completed at a high level that showcases your competency, thoroughness, and expertise.
2. Earning Potential – Consistent performance at a high or peak level improves your opportunities to make more money. High performers receive salary increases and bonus pay. High performers get promotions that come with a higher salary. Peak performers have advantages over competitors when applying for a new job with higher pay.
3. Career Development – Peak performance leads to staff development opportunities to develop and enhance skills and proficiencies. Training and development then lead to career opportunities. Lastly, receiving positive endorsements about your performance from previous employers can seal the deal on that new job opportunity.
4. Co-workers and Peers – Performing at a high level positively affects team morale, productivity, and revenue. High performance leads to improved work environments and positive team support. When team members help each other out, and they have cohesion, it reduces the stress in the workplace.
Employers need top performers on their team because it positively affects the company's bottom line. Top performers equal more profits. The overall success of a company is dependent on high performance from the team. Conversely, your career goals and dreams are dependent on peak performance and how your performance affected the success of your previous and current employers.
Always strive to perform at a high level, and success will follow.
