Habits are unparalleled predictors of long-term outcomes. They affect performance more than talent, intelligence, luck, or decision-making. Most know this, yet we struggle to take control of our habits to get the outcomes we want. If knowing is half the battle, the other half is doing. Success is predicated on self-mastery; high performance is a matter of habit.
Habits affect performance more than talent, intelligence, luck, or decision making. Most know this, yet they struggle to take control of their habits to get the outcomes they want.

Employees can better adapt to changing circumstances with skills to control their habits. The case study of Travis Leach, who made a dramatic change after learning a few skills at Starbucks, demonstrates how simple shifts in habits can drastically alter workplace performance and life outcomes.
Habits are automatic routines that occur with very little thought or effort. Leaders and employees can leverage course skills to automate behaviors for increased efficiency. For example, workers at the Alcoa Corporation automated a behavioral safety routine that dramatically improved efficiency, productivity, and revenue.
The skills for habit control are empowering by their very nature. As people increase their ability to build good habits, they become more engaged in work and life and take greater responsibility for outcomes.
Organizations don’t instill workplace behaviors simply because leaders order it. Only by implementing measures and training that foster habit formation can they successfully help employees meet quality, safety, regulatory, or cultural standards.
A recent survey reveals that newly promoted leaders take more than six months on average to develop the skills they need to succeed in the new role. Conversely, when employees know how to leverage the power of habit, they can more quickly adopt new skills and turn them into habits.
Charles Duhigg’s New York Times bestseller sparked a worldwide fascination with the science of habits and continues to transform individuals and organizations.
