Mastery - A System That Never Fails You

GMP Mastery™ is the ongoing journey of consistently doing the right things, right, in your 21st century world!  Using GMP Mastery™, we help you master day to day performance and realize exceptional and sustainable results.  By figuring out how GMP applies to your organization, you will progress toward Mastering Day Performance Excellence, and Realizing Exceptional and Sustainable Results.

In his book Mastery:  The Keys To Success and Long-Term Fulfillment, George Leonard discusses mastery in the following way:

It resists definition, yet can be instantly recognized.  It comes in many varieties, yet follows certain unchangeable laws.  It brings rich rewards, yet is not really a goal or a destination but rather a process, a journey.  We call this journey mastery, and tend to assume that it requires a special ticket available only to those born with exceptional abilities.  But mastery isn't reserved for the supertalented or even for those who are fortunate enough to have gotten an early start.  It's available to anyone who is willing to get on the path and stay on it - regardless of age, sex, or previous experience.

GMP Mastery™, therefore, is not geared only for geniuses, or top level executives. GMP Mastery™ is available to anyone who is willing to invest in their own growth, and improve their ability to see "it" better, be "it" better, do "it" better, and make a difference. 

Leonard list five keys to Mastery:

1. Surrender to your passion.  You won't become masterful at something that you aren't passionate about.  So choose something that really gets you excited, and allow yourself to go for it.

2. Visualize the outcome.  Know what you are striving for, and let it motivate you.

3. Get a guide.  You don't have to walk the path to Mastery alone!  Allow the Mastery Institute to be your guide, and you will experience the process of training, auditing, coaching, and mentoring along the way.  We will help you stay the course!

4. Practice, practice, practice.  Malcolm Gladwell asserts that anyone wanting to become masterful must do that activity for at least 10,000 hours.  Don't give up if you don't start off as a masterful doer.  It takes lots of time and practice.  And don't forget to enjoy yourself along the way!

5. Play the edge.  Be willing to take calculated risks, go beyond your normal comfort zone, and try new things!

In addition to implementing Leonard's mastery concepts and the GMP Regulations, the path to mastery is built upon integrating the following concepts into your "real world":

• integrating Dr. Deming's concept of Profound Knowledge

• Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® to help individuals learn about their thinking style, and move beyond their comfort zone.

• Competing Values Framework to help organizations appreciate conflicting values and integrate them successfully so that the organization is open to collaboration and growth.

• Baldrige Criteria For Performance Excellence to help organizations apply systems perspective for understanding performance management - Make "It" Happen Mastery™!

By building a solid foundation, GMP Mastery™ helps ensure that everyone is consistently doing the right things, right.  However, the path to GMP Mastery™ is often characterized by non-linear progress.  We find that people often begin the cycle, make progress, and then hit a plateau.  Plateaus are a normal part of the GMP Mastery™ process.  Taking a big step forward can cause disruption in the work of an organization.  It sometimes takes time for the organization to adjust before it embarks upon the next opportunity that has been targeted.  GMP Mastery™ coaches and mentors are skilled at helping you work through the plateau as well as the steep growth curve, so that improvements are sustainably integrated into your culture and strategy.

GMP Mastery™ is a great tool for organizations and individuals looking to improve their quality of management today, and pave a successful road to the future. To learn more about how we can help you embark upon this journey, browse our 4 value-added services below.
