How to create a high performance culture | Andrew Sillitoe | TEDxRoyalTunbridgeWells

Business Psychologist Andrew Sillitoe explores why some people rise to the top 20% in their field starting with research into why young people stay engaged with sport throughout their teens. Engaging others to operate at their full potential may be less of a mystery than we think – listen to Andrew’s story about what he learnt on the road playing street hockey and what it takes to create a high performance culture.

All TEDxRoyalTunbridgeWells videos recorded by Graham Hobbs, Clockhouse Productions.

When Andrew Sillitoe was 9 his mum bought him a street hockey stick. An unusual gift for an English boy living in the South East of England, but in that moment, his life would never be the same. He is now one of the most recognisable names in the inline hockey scene, both as a player and coach.

Andrew studied an MSc in Organisational Psychology from Birkbeck University. He wrote his first book Managing the Mist How to develop winning mind-sets and create high performing teams in 2013.

Andrew helps organisations achieve commercial success by creating teams with purpose. He passionately believes that a team with purpose is more innovative, diverse and agile to any organisation.

He lives in Royal Tunbridge Wells with his wife Lucie and their two daughters Izzie and Freya.

The manner in which you have summarised the important learnings is excellent. Lots and Lots to learn from the field of sports from you.

Great video Andrew, really enjoyed watching. Was sorry to learn about your reference to your Dad but it did give a lot of weight to the story. Well done.

An inspirational talk, a pleasure to listen to Andrew! Thanks for sharing your story about your dad and I loved the humour too.

Really great connection around finding purpose through what happened to his father.

[Grumpybhoy]

Love it Andrew. Currently trying to build a culture at my ice hockey club in Houston, Tx and as you would imagine isn't easy to get everyone to "buy in".

The first nine minutes is story telling about someone calling him out for being "fluffy bollocks" and the last four minutes he talks about how to creating a performance culture.

Thanks for sharing. My boys sometimes refuse a hug before bed. It's a dad thing to go back in when they are asleep and hug them! Maybe your old man did the same:-) Great video, cheers.

Very Inspiring! Thank you very much, Andrew. Will keep this in mind for motivating people and for creating a self-fulfilling atmosphere.

Good use of time leads to effective performance, I have liked this and  the creativity in it.

[intthept]

That dude was right to call this fluff. I feel like I watched the video equivalent to “live, love, laugh”

[Listen]

Ive been having a hard time lately, living in a place ruled by businesses and your message gave me hope and knowledge on what works to transform a group! I think this can really help the business start to work together! Ive watched alot of ted talks yet havent heard anyone put it this directly!!! Do you have any tips for how to create leaders? Thank You so much!

Hi Andrew. Your presentation was very insightful and i enjoyed it tremendously. Sorry about your dad and i can imagine the impact this had on you and your immediate family. That said, you clearly found your purpose - well done.

Very energetic and impressing view on new PMS

[BeataStaszkowmentoreu]

Andrew, a great talk. I am using it with my team.

[JediBrooker]

How did you get them to embrace failure? I lead a team of perfectionists and they're so scared to risk failure to gain a learning opportunity!

[atoutlamonde]

Better than Simon S. He is also good but this one has more feelings, emotions. I am really sorry about your dad. It is a reminder for me to avoid to miss that valuable moments. .
I do believe that 5 keys for high performance. Only challenge is to remain calm after asking questions ( 2nd one)
