For years, the workplace conversation has focused on how to optimise performance: work smarter, move faster and squeeze more productivity from every working day. In The Performance Prescription, medical doctor and corporate wellbeing expert Dr John Briffa argues that we may have been focusing on the wrong thing. The answer, he suggests, is not to optimise the work but the worker.
Drawing on more than 30 years of experience and his work with thousands of business executives, Briffa combines medical expertise with the latest research to explore what enables people to perform at their best without running themselves into the ground.
The book is built around four fundamentals: emotional regulation, energy, environmental design and execution. From managing stress and maintaining focus to sleep, nutrition, exercise and creating a workplace that supports concentration, Briffa translates the science into practical strategies that can be incorporated into even the busiest professional lives.
This is particularly relevant at a time when burnout, fatigue and poor mental health are major concerns for employers, while technology designed to make work easier can often simply accelerate its pace. Rather than treating wellbeing and productivity as competing priorities, Briffa makes a persuasive case that they are fundamentally interconnected.
The strength of The Performance Prescription lies in its practicality. This is not a book advocating an unrealistic transformation of your working life; instead, it provides evidence-based interventions designed to improve how you function within the reality of modern work.
For leaders, entrepreneurs and ambitious professionals who want to perform at a high level without compromising their health, this is a timely and useful prescription for making success sustainable.
The Performance Prescription: The Science of Sustainable Success by Dr John Briffa is out now.
