Every leader wants a high-performing team, but not every leader knows how to create the environment needed to cultivate performance.

As a leader, you get the unique privilege to establish a healthy, positive, and thriving culture within your team, but it starts with your self-leadership. Your people are watching what you prioritize, tolerate, celebrate, and how you respond during seasons of challenge and uncertainty. And we don’t state that to create negative pressure, but rather to encourage you toward growth in your own performance, because if you want a team that performs with focus and purpose, you must first create the conditions that make that performance possible.

In this article, we share how to create a culture of performance by defining vision, connecting to strategy, setting clear expectations, modeling expected behaviors, and giving both regular feedback and encouragement. By following these steps, you too can create a culture of performance within your team and organization.
