- 2. THE PERFORMANCE INSTITUTE’S LEADERSHIP VISION High-performance exists at the intersection of leadership, communication, management and results. For an organization to achieve its goals, leaders must motivate, inspire and harness the talents of its most valuable resource – people. There are innate and intangible qualities that define leadership, but to achieve excellence, a leader must constantly develop and evolve. The path to excellence challenges an individual to develop new skills and methods to inspire a diverse and ever-changing workforce. A 21st century leader must move beyond management and utilize innovation for organizational success. In the U.S. workforce, the Gallup organization estimates the cost of employee disengagement to be more than $300 billion in lost productivity alone. 2 www.PerformanceInstitute.org/Leader
