You can be a peak performer without suffering negative side effects.
Those who achieve peak performance often find they can only sustain it for so long. Every time they step up their effort and their results, they are faced with even higher expectations, more demanding people and seemingly unrelenting workloads. These brilliant people, with strong work ethics and a passion to succeed, are not willing to give up. They work harder. But at a cost.
We've noticed that those leaders who sustain peak performance over the long-term have mastered the toggle between Exertion and Recovery. This is the balance between working on the right things with maximum energy, then reliably replenishing that energy.
Sustainable Success is a self-assessment - a focused, honest look at the toggle between Exertion and Recovery. It measures how you think, what you do and the routines you build in across both - because the leaders who sustain peak performance are deliberate about both halves, not just the effort.
