Create a 'context' that unleashes great performance

It starts with 'a good look in the mirror'
It is your deeply held principles, values and conceptual models that 'show up' for your organization every day. They are always perceived very accurately.

It is the customer's experience that matters
The absolute importance of your customer's experience of your organization on the front line at the point of sale.

The employee - customer - profit model
Happy workers create happy customers who create sales and profits.

There is no soft stuff or hard stuff
Honesty, trust, integrity, ethical behaviour, authenticity, dignity and respect are entirely compatible with a ruthless commitment to achieving results and the relentless pursuit of victory.

The triangle of high performance in retail
With a priority of the product and merchandising, supported by an obsession with customer service and an empowered front line.

Internalization and being 'at cause'
This is the heart of a powerful 'can do' attitude of high performance.

We care
'Caring' is mindfulness and thoughtfulness in action. It's attention to detail in execution. It's doing the right things for the right reasons - and it is very powerful in action.

Pride
The pride of your associates is a measure of health and a source of competitive advantage.

On a 'mission'
The first element is alignment - I fully understand the expectations, I accept my role in the fulfillment of the objectives, I want to be here and I will act to perform my role to the best of my abilities. The second element is intensity - we have a mission and a keen sense of urgency - and failure is not an option.

A high powered approach
1. Surface issues
2. Engage people
3. Prioritize and allocate resources
4. Unleash ownership
5. Energize learning

Be the leader
The best leaders always lead on the front lines. The best leaders say, "come follow me!" Just be the leader.

Back to the mirror
Why would anyone want to be led by you? Who are you and what do you stand for? What do you want to create and what kind of legacy will you leave?

High Performance Retail is about the implementation and execution of proven best practices for breakthroughs in performance on the front lines, where breakthroughs in performance are defined as: significant and sustainable increases in sales and bottom line profits; accompanied by aligned, positive and committed people; and exceptionally satisfied and loyal customers.
