Eduardo Briceno breaks down two essential modes: the performance zone, where you execute and deliver results, and the learning zone, where you improve and innovate. Success requires regularly practicing both, using performance for daily operations and learning for strategic work that moves the business forward.
there's actually two different forms of effort and strategies. There's effort to execute and to get the job done and to get results and to sell and to serve people. That's what I call the performance zone. And there's effort to improve and to innovate and to get higher levels of performance and increase our skills. And that's what I call the learning zone. And we have to figure out ways to habituate both of those zones. They're both critical. And so they tie to, you know, the name of your podcast very much. You know, when we work in the business, we are in the performance zone executing. When we are on the, you know, working on the business or above the business, we are working to improve. And, and that's that. So we have to engage in the learning zone, not just in the performance zone, in order to achieve higher levels of success.
