The High Performer Manifesto is a series of behaviors and beliefs New Higher has discovered in high performing professionals that low performers don’t embody.

1. I give first, knowing that the greater the gift I give, the more I ultimately gain.

2. I give more than I take. That is value creation and the path to leaving a legacy.

3. I go above and beyond the commons by doing old work in new ways and new work in new ways.

4. I appreciate what I already have and always start from there. I honor other sources of income in addition to money.

5. I define success for myself, have authentic ways of measuring it, and seek feedback on my performance regularly.

6. I constantly innerview in an effort to reach my new higher.

7. I create challenges for myself where there are none and accept challenges as opportunities for growth when they come from elsewhere.

8. I recognize that high performance where I am positions me to get to where I want to go next.

9. I always claim my true value and I value others’ work in the way I want to be valued.

10. I see my career and company as an opportunity for my personal/professional growth.
