Philosophy
literally means, "the love of, including
the search after, wisdom." In
actual usage it denotes the general laws,
principles, or values under which all the subordinate
phenomena or facts relating to that subject are comprehended.
Therefore, the following represent those general laws under which
Executive Performance exists
as an enterprise.
Executive
Performance is an extraordinary enterprise
comprised of experienced principals and affiliates who are leaders
in their respective fields of endeavor. However, one of our most
precious commodities is our neoteny,
of which Harvard Business School professors Warren G. Bennis and
Robert J. Thomas write,
Neoteny
is the retention of all those wonderful qualities that we associate
with youth: curiosity, playfulness, eagerness, fearlessness, warmth,
energy. Unlike those defeated by time and age, our business veterans
have remained much like our geeks-open, willing to take risks,
hungry for knowledge and experience, courageous, eager to see
what the new day brings. Time and loss steal the zest from the
unlucky, and leave them looking longingly at the past. Neoteny
is a metaphor for the quality-the gift-that keeps the fortunate
of whatever age focused on all the marvelous undiscovered things
to come.
Our fresh
eyes and exuberance enable us to energetically help clients to
develop value and resolve issues that they previously considered
daunting. Not only do we bring fresh eyes to clients, we also
bring diverse perspectives.
The impact
that a global economy makes in a multicultural context is of great
significance to business leaders. While many consulting companies
are researching, prognosticating, and talking "diversity,"
Executive Performance IS diversity.
We walk the walk. We forge our divergent views into gems of solutions
to provide value for clients. This has allowed us to create a
unique culturally dynamic
approach to developing client solutions.
Our culturally
dynamic approach enables us to assess a group
of diverse participants, identify both common and distinct experiences,
needs, and expectations; and respond by creating unique (and flexible)
turnkey solutions. Our culturally
dynamic approach to business is really all about
respecting and understanding the worth of unique individuals.
What's non-negotiable
and set in stone about how
Executive 
Performance
operates? Our values...
- freedom
- authenticity
- accountability
- self-defined
success
We believe
that intellectual and spiritual freedom
is a prerequisite to authenticity
as an individual and an enterprise. Authenticity maximizes creative
thought necessary for exploration, discovery, and innovation.
The way we work, freedom and authenticity are non-negotiable.
We believe
in accountability. However,
accountability can only exist when responsibility is paired with
real authority. The way we work, accountability is non-negotiable.
We also believe
that individuals must first self-define
success. This is the prerequisite before any collective
definition of success can be achieved. The success of any group
will be defined by valuing and developing consensus from each
individual perspective. The way we work, self-defined success
is non-negotiable.
Executive
Performance
can create value for clients because we value ourselves, what
we do, and how we do it...
