The relationship between strategic thinking and peak performance in branch banking
… Following the need to drive superior overall performance within branch banking, while creating an aspiration element for top managers who are career orientated, selected branches were grouped into the Associate model. The Associate model can be described as the formalisation of an …

Low complexity quantized controllers for LTI systems : peak-to-peak performance guarantees
… control signals along the digital channel. The performances of the proposed algorithm are then evaluated by providing explicit bounds on the peak-to-peak noise attenuation, in regards to the induced l[subscript infinity symbol] gain of the closed loop . This result is obtained by constructing a …

The Inner Game of Teaching: What is it and How can It Make Us Better Teachers
… questions were the focus: 1) What is a mental peak performance state in teaching? 2) What is the value of achieving this state? 3) How can teachers attain peak performance states? Peak performance states are described as “a higher mental state” where teachers are motivated intrinsically; in …

Peak moments: the experience of coaches
Peak moments are considered by McInman and Grove (1991) to be a global panacea, and include peak experience (Maslow, 1964), peak performance (Privette, 1983) and flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). Peak moments are an under-researched phenomenon in coaching. They could, in principle, be important and …

Performance evaluation of vector machine architectures
Vector machines are well known for their high-peak performance, but the delivered performance varies greatly over different workloads and depends strongly on compiler optimizations. Recently it has been claimed that several horizontal superscalar architectures, e.g., VLIW and polycyclic …
