    People who aren't high performers, as a general rule, can't be transformed into them by any system (although there are some fascinating explorations of what a low performer can achieve with the right capital investments). A good strategy is one that either achieves the best possible results with a large number of average performers or turns medium-high performers into high performers and really enables the high performers to shine.
