PERFORMANCE
(The Foundation
for Success)

in any role that you play/played?
 Do you always give it your all?
 Do you handle constructive feedback
and act upon it?
 Are you a team player?
 Can you influence others?
 Are you results driven?

18. THE POWER OF P.I.E:
Performance
 Performance is a direct reflection of you.
 Bragging and complaining are not the marks of winners.
 Take compliments and praise with grace.
 Seek to improve the performance of others and the organization.
Their success will wear on you.
 Performance of task and people interaction affect your performance.
 How you deliver is as important as what you deliver.
 Welcome performance reviews as a chance to improve.
 Share information and help others. They will not forget.
 If you are not thorough and detailed, get someone to help. Pay
attention to the details.

 What would others say about
you?
 Do others know your role and
what you have to offer
 Are you a role model

20. THE POWER OF P.I.E:
Image
 Dress for the position you want, not the position you have.
 Model yourself after someone that is successful and you
admire/respect.
 Act as if you belong, even if you feel you don’t.
 Attitude is important. Have an outreach attitude to make others
feel comfortable. Maintain a calm, can-do attitude.

21. EXPOSURE
 Do you have a mentor?
 Who do you know? Who knows
you?
 Do others respect you; do you
respect others?

22. THE POWER OF P.I.E:
Exposure
 Think long-term relationships.
 Treat everyone well because everyone deserves respect.
 Keep confidentiality. You will become a trusted advisor.
 Volunteer to present team results. Public speaking is an excellent opportunity
for exposure.
 Volunteer to become more involved, especially cross-organizational projects.
 Bring learning back to the organization.
 Show up at organizational events, even if they cost money. It’s an investment
in your career.
 Just because someone doesn’t have a position of power, don’t assume
exposure is not critical. That individual may have the ear of a person in
power.
