Examples of High Performance - Exemplos de Alto Desempenho
"Algumas pessoas querem que aconteça, outras desejam que aconteça, outras fazem acontecer. "
- Michael Jordan
Refletindo sobre como cada um de nós pode desempenhar melhor o nosso papel profissional, lembrei de um personagem inesquecível, símbolo de dedicação ao trabalho, que pude conhecer durante a minha infância em Salvador - Bahia. Ele era conhecido como “Guarda Pelé”.
O guarda Pelé disciplinava o trânsito com seus gestos que pareciam espalhafatosos, mas eram admirados e eficazes. Ele chamava mesmo a atenção com o simples silvo do seu apito e os braços em movimentos rápidos imprimindo confiança nos transeuntes.
Ele ficou conhecido até no exterior. Na década de 70, o seu estilo e carisma atravessaram fronteiras e
renderam reportagens em jornais e revistas de outros paises. Autoridades dos Estados Unidos o convidaram a mostrar seu trabalho nas esquinas de Nova York.

While I was thinking about how each one of us can better perform our jobs, came to my mind images of an unforgettable Transit Guard called "Pelé" a symbol of job dedication in the town I was born, Salvador-Bahia.
He was known by his expressive dedication to his job. To control the transit he used to do an unique body and sound performance using his whistles and arms. This was really fun, but it was also a way to inspire trust in all pedestrians.
Achei uma propaganda da extinta Companhia Aérea Cruzeiro do Sul no YouTube que mostra algumas cenas do Guarda Pelé nas ruas - I have found a short advertisement movie in the YouTube that shows some images of the Transit Guard Pelé:

That
different way he used to perform his job became famous even in foreign
countries. During the 1970s his professional performance and charisma
were presented as examples to be followed in newspapers and magazines of
the U.S.A and other countries. He was invited to show his performance
in New York.
