In today’s economy, it has become expedient for organisations to take a deeper and more critical look at their operations with a view to achieving optimisation through the efficiency and effectiveness of its workforce. Why? Organisations with goals such as improved quality, better customer experience, reduced operational or overhead costs understand that their processes, and the people who drive those processes, are not a one-size-fits-all, thus giving room for improvement.

Where deficiencies are identified, it behoves management to seek out ways to improve on them. This could come in different ways and may be as varied as the business models, structures, processes and even external factors such as the industries where these organisations operate. One common denominator when optimising or revamping operations for better performance is the need to document and measure existing procedures and processes such that it forms the baseline from which assessment and improvement can be measured.

Measuring is a critical factor in the quest for improved operational efficiency. However, many organisations still struggle in this area and it is not for lack of trying. Measuring, as a tool for improving operational efficiency, is only as effective as the data processed. Where there is no baseline, there is nothing to measure current performance by; no ‘ground zero’, if you must. There must be a point from which you can say, “This is where we were before. This is where we are now”.

But having that baseline alone cannot bring the improvement every business craves. There must be periodic assessments. For instance, are we looking at employee performance? How can one ascertain if an employee is doing well if, for example, he was not given a job description when he joined the organisation, and such employee is not appraised at intervals to determine if they are indeed living up to the organisation’s expectations? How can we know if our products or services are what they should be if there is no quality control process in place to measure our delivery against our service promise?

The vicissitudes of work throw different things at us. Some get to the workplace and find their rhythm or get direction for their lives, others enter and begin to struggle and only just getting by. But, one thing is certain, the world of work only rewards the star performers and they are the ones who find the most fulfilment from the self-application process of work. Nigerian professionals, renowned for their determination to succeed, are among the most productive in the world. But there are more they can add to their game.

Below some 12 steps that will elevate you to the status of a star performer.

Know yourself
Know yourself. Know your strengths, limits, talents, gifts, deficiencies. Know where you will thrive and flourish; know where you will struggle and not be able to cope. All of us are not supposed to work anywhere; so, once you understand yourself, it makes career choices and decisions easier. For instance, if you work in a setup where your job descriptions do not match your strengths, you will struggle and will not find joy in your work. The kind of satisfaction that comes from doing what you are naturally cut out for will elude you.

Even though research has revealed that most Nigerian workforce work mainly for the pay and not out of interest, you still owe yourself the duty of making a choice as to where you want to work, such that going to work will not be something you dread every day.


Confirm expectations and requirements
If you desire to turn in a five-star performance in any role, you must know what specific tasks are required of you at work. You should know what you are supposed to do on a regular, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis to fulfil your role. This will help to have a complete picture of what you ought to do with minimal omission.

Ascertain the scope and coverage of your responsibilities
How long do you need to do what you are doing? How far do you need to go? What scope do you need to cover in your professional responsibilities? Having a grasp of this will help you not to dissipate energy in the wrong direction or do much where you are supposed to do little.

What am I expected to do? For how long am I expected to do them? How many of those am I required to turn in daily? These are questions star performers ask before they hit the ground running.

Identify result and productivity metrics
Star performers are always conscious of their productivity quotient. If you wish to be numbered among them, then you need to adopt a result-driven mindset like they have. You need to be clear as to what constitutes productivity for you. You are permitted to do as many things as you want, but it is not all the things you do that constitute productivity. You should know how your results will be appraised so as to align yourself to do what you are supposed to do as against what catches your fancy.

TAMS Tip of the Day:

You will never find time for anything. If you want time, you must make it! – Charles Brixton.

Time. Time. Time. Don’t we all wish we had more of this valuable resource? One of the most common excuses to not getting enough work done is “there wasn’t enough time” or “I ran out of time”. To get around this, you have to master the art of constant time management, and move up to “creating” your own time. Yes! It can be done.

We’ll never get more than 24 hours in a day but you can do the most with that limited supply of time just by applying the principles of time management and allocation. Out of the limited supply of time we all have, productive people make the best use of it and so can you.

How do you think you become a master of time today?
