It’s no surprise that there are common characteristics among those at the top of their field. Traits of high-performers include

  1. Intrinsic-motivation
  2. Self-direction
  3. Strategic thinking, and
  4. Decisiveness

The good news is that teachers, artists, surgeons, retailers, students, craftsmen, Executives, programmers, athletes — Top performers of every type across industries demonstrate behaviors anyone can cultivate. The Top-Performer traits you and I can cultivate include:

  • Commitment to Quality: Top performers prioritize quality over volume.
  • Commitment to Skill Development: Those at the top of their game seek ongoing growth and refinement to become even more accomplished.
  • Decision-Making: High achievers are decisive. They efficiently gather some amountn of information, assess risk, decide, and move on.
  • Self-Direction: Top performers self-initiate and self-motivate. They seek out new challenges, assignments, and knowledge without prompts.
  • Composure Under Pressure: Top performers tend to exhibit calm, confidence and resolve in the face of high stakes and pressure.
