What Leads to Star Performance?
Understanding the concept of star performance is rooted with understanding what separates a star performer from an average one.

Robert Kelley’s research showed that managers and employees generally do not come up with a match when asked to name their star employees. Therefore, the author and his team grouped each characteristic that was cited by the majority to be traits of a star employee. This resulted in three categories: cognitive skills that include creativity, logic, reasoning, and higher IQ; personality that includes risk-taking, self-confidence, and ambition; and personal control over destiny.
