About Us

We help teams
find their flow

Our Why

We’re colleagues, university cohorts and friends, united by a fascination with leadership, human behaviour and what makes teams work.

Across our careers building companies, leading teams and helping others perform better, we kept seeing the same thing: good leaders working incredibly hard, knowing their teams could be better, but not always knowing what was getting in the way.

There is no shortage of great diagnostics. Many provide valuable insight into part of the picture: trust, psychological safety, engagement, personality, leadership or culture. But teams don’t operate in parts. They operate as interconnected systems.

That became our challenge: could we see the whole field? The conditions, behaviours, relationships, patterns and energy that interact to create flow, or friction.

The Performance Field grew from that question.

We use science-backed measurement to help leaders understand what is actually happening inside their teams, what’s driving it, and where to act first.

And perhaps appropriately, we’re building it the way we believe great teams work: aligned by purpose, connected by trust, energised by what we’re creating, and having a blast along the way.

From insight to action

Lead. Energize. Align. Flow.

Understanding what’s happening is only useful if leaders can do something with it. Our work points to four conditions leaders can actively influence to help teams perform at their best.

Create the conditions. Activate the energy. Align the effort. Remove the friction.

L

E

The Team

Practitioners, not presenters

Every person involved in our engagements has done this work themselves, not just read about it.
