The 6 Levers of Human Performance

The 6 Levers of the Psychology of Human Performance. 

Performance Model

Levers of Performance

Human performance is inherently psychological in nature. It is driven by 6 separate but interrelated factors, that each uniquely shape the psychological variables that drive performance. 

Below is the eyeYou model of the Levers of Human Performance. These levers pull together and frame collective and contemporary psychological, peer reviewed research into descrete levers that provide understanding, and enable action to change and adjust. This model gives us the lenses and framework needed to flourish as human beings, whatever we are doing. 

The Human Voice & The System Perspective

Here we cater to different ways of engaging with topics. The Human Voice (shorter, simpler, directly outlined) as a concise summary for those who like the headlines first - and The System Perspective (more detailed explorations and sources). Switches can be used while any of the levers are still open.

The Neurodivergent Lens

The Levers of Performance are universal and applicable across all human beings, of all neurotypes. Neurodivergence does not fundamentally change these levers, but adds layers of nuance and variability rather than needing anything different. Switches can be used while any of the levers are still open.
