Yes! I'm not going to say I know everything about high performance mindset now, but I know way more after reading your article, so thank you for writing it.
As I was reading, I thought of one other thing that may have been alluded to in your words (and if that's the case, my apologies).
It's the concept of the right fit. My crude sports analogy would be a pro baseball team where a starting pitcher is struggling big time, even with all the talent in the world. The pitcher is moved to the bullpen and becomes one of the best relievers in the game. Same person, same skills, better fit.
In a corporate environment, perhaps it's a talented individual who is struggling in one role and then excels in another.
For me, just a retired guy, I'm not sure how this approach applies to me. But I'm confident it does somehow. Perhaps I just need to know what my "fit" is.
Ha! I actually had to just reread what I wrote to see if I did allude to it. I suppose tenuously I could take credit for alluding to it, but actually I am not sure I did and I think it is a very pertinent point. If the ‘fit’ is wrong, the structure or system from which to perform wouldn’t be conducive to the environment. So, you’re totally right.
I wasn’t very knowledgeable about baseball until I came onto substack and now I find myself reading about it all the time. Great analogy!
I wrote a paper in college, way back when, about how baseball is a metaphor for life. It's a beautiful sport, but all sports are beautiful in their own right.
