The 1% Difference and the ART of Performance
To an Olympian, 4th place is perhaps the worst place to finish. Tantalisingly close to the podium, but no medal to show for it. And the difference between 4th place and the podium is often less than 1%. The same applies in business – a small change in the right area can produce breakthrough results. But how do you know where to find the right 1% difference? Drawing on his experience in elite sport, Jonathan explains how the answer lies in the ART of Performance; how you Act, Relate and Think.
