10. Build a strong support network. Top performers surround themselves with supportive people who can help them achieve their goals. They also make time for activities that they enjoy and that help them to relax and recharge.
    Great at Work is a comprehensive guide to becoming a top performer in your field. Hansen’s research is based on a three-year study of over 5,000 top performers from a variety of industries. He identified the ten habits listed above as the key factors that differentiate top performers from everyone else.
