The song of high efficiency. And who is yet committing to "performance" seems to sit up to the pragmatic short-circuit that much also comes from many, that means that only great effort put forward good results. - Yes, probably close enough. If the results are then a ruined health and private life.

Yes, not only every age, even every man with his skills and resources. Competition, with whom I will measure me, I define myself and ultimately I it is probably just me, who stands with me in the competition. My goals, my desires and demands determine what I think is a performance, and where I miss it. Because it makes a difference if I give my best in the world in or hold it back.

The term "performance" reflects also the performance on a stage. And I do it for my audience to enjoy it.

Successful leaders have a own relationship to performance. It's always about to jump over my own shadow. Goals are so high and as far as I submit myself. That is why we are committed to driving performance as well as motive and as fulfillment.
