7. The Research
3 Key Questions Sparked the Research …
1. What makes people successful?
2. Why are competent people
sometimes successful in one
position but fail dismally in the next?
3. Can we predict an individuals
probability of becoming successful in
a position?

Research Findings
PERSON
If the environment (team, department,
organization) doesn’t match the habits
of the individual, that employee has a high
propensity to fail!
TASK
Predictable success requires a
contextual match in behavior!

How do you map the context?

context …

11. The Research
What are Top Performers?
Individuals whose success you would like to ‘clone’
Top performers have been scientifically proven to accurately
share a same habit and behavior profile
Profile incudes their habits and behaviors, attitude, efficiency and
conceptual ability
Typically unique for every given role & working environment
Based upon the research, there are no “ideal profiles”
for any specific working environments
Ideal top performer criteria
In the job for more than 8 months
Consistently meets/exceeds performance targets
Positive towards the job & positive influence on colleagues
Motivated and enthusiastic
