Optimising & Improving Performance 

Description

Optimising & Improving Performance lies at the heart of the AQR International offering. AQR’s core purpose is to support individuals and organisations to “be the best version of themselves which they can be” and to maintain wellbeing in so doing. Performance includes all outcomes that are important and worthwhile. This includes being more agile, and more aspirational as well as output.  

It is about establishing a culture in which individuals and groups become intrinsically involved in developing mastery, they understand their purpose, have the freedom to act and have a sense of belongingness with others contributing to that common purpose. 

It brings together many components of the AQR offering: 

Mental Toughness – creating a resilient and positive frame of mind. The evidence consistently shows that mental toughness is a major factor in performance. 

Leadership – enabling all to contribute their best efforts willingly and enthusiastically 

Trust – building relationship which remove obstacles to performance 

Intrinsic Motivation – fundamental motivation that creates enjoyable and satisfying work 

Teamworking – creating cohesion across the organisation to achieve a common end 

The Mental Toughness concept & measure is also directly relevant in other factors important for performance and growth including: 

• Creativity and Innovation 
• Curiosity 
• Psychological Safety 
• Compassion and Care 
• Coaching and Mentoring
