Peak Performance: Marginal Gains in the Workplace

In a complex world of fast-paced change, the key to success is measured incremental improvements. This book provides a framework to achieve peak performance in your professional life. Drawing inspiration from the concept of marginal gains, you will embark on a journey of transformation to elevate your effectiveness and productivity to new levels – to unlock your full potential.

Discover the power of small, strategic changes which, together, lead to significant advancements in competency. The scope of this book is behaviours and traits, as we explore the components of success. We start with the importance of becoming a reflective practitioner and understanding our own values, learning and social styles, to increase emotional intelligence.

We then delve into the psychology of time management, problem solving, decision making, and our synergy with others through communication and delegation. As we transition to high-level activity, we analyse adaptive leadership, influence, negotiation, and how to effectively manage talent to support the next generation. Finally, we tackle personal development planning to ensure rigorous interventions are in place.

Deviating from the anecdotal perspective taken by some of the self-help genre, this book provides multiple credible, reliable academic theories for each topic, followed by a call-to-action, so you may dictate your own path. Our aim is to enact minor adjustments in habits, routines, and mindsets to create a significant impact on your overall performance.
