Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.

What is Performance Sickness?

Performance Sickness is any mental, emotional and behavioural aspect of ourselves that creates a personal performance limit short of where we want it to be.

This can reveal itself in multitudes of different ways with different people and organisations. Here are just a few example symptoms for you…

  • Continuing friction in a valuable work or personal relationship
  • Poor sales results
  • Non achievement of targets
  • Ineffective management or leadership
  • Low quality communication
  • Lack of confidence in important situations
  • Putting off key activities in favour of unimportant comfortable tasks
  • Overly aggressive behaviour
  • Lack of motivation
  • Low levels of commitment
  • Moaning, whinging and complaining

 Like many other forms of sickness, Performance Sickness can be diagnosed and treated but a remedy can only be prescribed if you really have had enough of your condition and want to make improvements to your performance health. Also, like many other forms of poor health, Performance Sickness can lurk without fatal consequences but just sap energy and prevent you from getting all you can from life. We can help you to enhance your or your organisation's Performance Health.
