What Is Breakthrough Performance?

Breakthrough Performance is extraordinary performance that generates breakthrough results. It always begins with fully aligned teams that operate with total ownership and accountability.

When your team communicates courageously, operates with high trust, fully owns the strategy, and executes tenaciously and effectively, your organisation becomes capable of achieving outcomes beyond expectations.

Why Most Teams Underperform

Most organisations are filled with talented and committed people, yet they still struggle to achieve their full potential.

The issue is rarely capability. More often, teams are simply:

  • Misaligned
  • Lacking full accountability
  • Avoiding difficult and courageous conversations
  • Lacking cohesion and trust
  • Operating in silos rather than a shared purpose
  • Owning their own area and success, rather than standing in the bigger picture
  • Working hard but executing ineffectively

The result is frustration, cynicism, compromise, performance that falls short of what the organisation is truly capable of achieving and ultimately stalled growth and success.

The Slogan Was Still Alive, the Culture Was Already Dead

There is a specific moment when a cultural initiative stops being a transformation and becomes a performance. Most leaders never see it happen. A few never recover from missing it. It is not the moment of visible failure. Visible failure is actually the safer outcome, because at least everyone can see what they are dealing with. The dangerous moment is quieter and far more expensive: when the slogan outlives the behavior and nobody in the room feels safe enough to say so. The words stop describing reality and start replacing it. I was working with a finance division at a global tech company. Talented people, genuinely sharp managers, and completely dysfunctional. In this company departments […]

What others say about working with Gershon Mader & Quantum Performance Inc

I engaged Gershon in to help raise the performance of the EMEA region at Ciena shortly after the acquisition of Nortel’s MEN division.

Our challenge was to integrate two organizations with different cultures and create a positive, cohesive mindset whilst dealing with complex workforce reductions across multiple European countries.

Gershon worked with us for over a year. The first impact of Gershon’s work was on my leadership team.

Gershon, we finished our quarter (very late last night) and I wanted to share with you the good news: we exceeded our plan for the first time in over a year! This is our first breakthrough 🙂

There is no doubt in my mind this comes from a super motivated team executing together, and the Transformation and Breakthrough Session with you was a key step toward this.

Thanks, for all your support!

In taking up my role, I was faced with both a challenge and the opportunity of having a new leadership team… many of my colleagues had not worked together, were located in different parts of the world and were very focused on their individual areas of the business.

After working with Gershon I can say with conviction the team has strengthened considerably – relationships have developed, communications have become more open and, as a result, trust has deepened.
