Redefining High Performance Research Study

Introduction to The National Study

Thank you for your interest in the national research – Redefining High Performance.

We are excited to present fresh data and unexpected findings that offer valuable new insights into achieving high performance.

Ty Bennett has spent the past 20 years building businesses, as well as studying, interviewing, writing about, and speaking to some of the highest performing companies and organizations in the world.

Over the last six years, Ty’s sons and coauthors, Tanner and Drew have become elite athletes, competing in Ninja Warrior.

Together, our passion and curiosity around high performance has grown tremendously over the last six years.

That is what led us to conduct our own research in partnership with The Center for Generational Kinetics.

The national PHD led study included a custom 16-question High Performance survey. The quantitative study was administered to 750 U.S. respondents ages 18–65. The sample was weighted to the 2020 U.S. Census data for age, gender, ethnicity, and region. It has a margin of error of +/-3.58 percentage points.

It is an accurate look at high performance in the current state of working America.

Our research revealed that only 33% of Americans believe their employer has a clear, shared understanding of high performance. 

For that reason, we have set out to Redefine High Performance.

To give clarity, insights, and best practices to individuals and organizations who want to raise their level of performance. 

 The 2024 National Research Study, Redefining High Performance, is divided up into three sections. Each of these sections highlights a distinct area of discovery that we consider significant.  

Section 1

Drivers of High Performance 

Section 2

Barriers to High Performance 

Section 3

High Performance for Leaders 

We hope that this study and the data presented will provide a roadmap for individuals and organizations who want to increase performance, drive growth, foster innovation, enhance efficiency, strengthen collaboration, improve customer satisfaction, streamline processes, build resilience, optimize resources, and expand market reach. 

High performance is important because it drives success, growth, and satisfaction in both personal and professional endeavors. We believe this research will help you in these seven crucial areas.

6. Driving Long-Term Success

High performance leads to sustained progress, better opportunities, and greater financial and personal rewards over time.
