“For knowing where one belongs makes ordinary people – hardworking, competent, but mediocre otherwise – into outstanding performers.”
Peter F. Drucker
Outstanding performance is essential to business success, and Peter Drucker’s idea that knowing where one belongs warrants unpacking. Dr. Rothschild’s work takes the concept of where one belongs to include how attitudes and beliefs implicitly shape our environments and often determine if one belongs or not. We may not notice or take seriously assumptions that thwart our best efforts. Many write under-performance off as a cost of doing business.
Implicit assumptions and blind-spots co-create interpersonal difficulties that hinder outstanding performance, and although you may be aware that something is off, situating what is not working in order to improve performance is not simple. Dr. Rothschild specializes in clarifying assumptions and attitudes held by business owners and leaders that diminish performance in order to reformulate attitudes and beliefs thereby making the difference between outstanding and mediocre practice. Dr. Rothschild provides direct engagement of the complex people-issues that occur in the work place, and has experience working with individuals across roles from the executive level to management in addition to joint sessions held with business partners. His orientation is based in the science that personality traits predict knowledge acquisition, motivation, and performance, and in the philosophy that functional interpersonal dynamics contribute to business success.
