When we see someone performing at their best, in business, sport or the arts, we do not see someone being busy. We see someone committed; to the moment, to the task at hand, or to the mission they are on. We see them do exactly what needs to be done - no more, and no less.
So how do we achieve high performance across an organisation? We need three things. We need the right mindset, the right skills, and the right culture. Let us use the analogy of a garden. Think of skills as the seeds, mindset as the soil, and culture as the sun.
