What The 5 Knowings Is

The 5 Knowings is a performance management framework developed by GT Coaching and Consulting and grounded in positive psychology. It gives managers and leaders a practical language and a set of tools for building the conditions in which people do their best work — consistently, sustainably and by choice.

Traditional performance management starts with what is going wrong and tries to fix it. The 5 Knowings starts from a different question entirely: what makes great performance possible? It is built on three decades of research in positive psychology, organisational science and leadership effectiveness — from Gallup, Amy Edmondson, Carol Dweck, Daniel Goleman, Martin Seligman and others.

This module guides you through all Five Knowings in depth — what each one is, why it matters, what the research says, and what it looks like in your workplace every day. It takes approximately 60 minutes and is divided into six sections.
