Description
In this short course, learners will discover methods and tools to proactively prevent or reactively identify and close Performance Gaps in their teams... and themselves.
We've taken the content from our signature book, "Gapology: How Winning Leaders Close Performance Gaps," and break them down into bite-sized chunks that can be easily absorbed and referenced in the future.
Our objective here is to provide quick lessons to apply immediately to your leadership and make a powerful and sustainable improvement to help you achieve your greatest potential.
Gapology started as a curiosity. Mark Thienes was curious whether winning leaders at the top of their field were born with the skills that led them to outperform their peers consistently or if those skills could be taught. He began interviewing those in this “A Group” and found behaviors and methods that were highly consistent and present throughout this group. These were also dramatically missing from those who performed consistently at the bottom of the peer group, the “C Group.”
From this original research, three distinct Performance Gaps emerged. From these gaps, we discovered the proven methods and tools that we present in our book "Gapology," our in-person training workshops, our podcast “Gapology Radio,” and now throughout this signature online training course.
Our organizational Purpose is “Helping Leaders Achieve Their Greatest Potential,” and it all begins with Gapology.
