Recent Accenture research shows that we can all improve our performance if we do certain things differently.
The research says:
Top performers excel at keeping one eye on their current tasks and the other eye on the future. For example, in looking for a new assignment, 47 percent of top performers seek more responsibility and an opportunity to advance toward the next career level. By comparison, just 38 percent of typical performers said this was so. Top performers are also more likely to look for the chance to do something different, and they are equally likely to look for an opportunity to increase specialization.
Top performers maintain this focus on the future when planning their learning paths. They are three times as likely as typical performers to mention that they plan their learning around where they want to go next in their career.
