Results orientation is defined as ‘the attitude of wanting to achieve outcomes.’ HPO managers are strongly result oriented which shows by them being continuously working at achieving the goals and targets set by the organization, being proactive in looking for opportunities to achieve competitive advantage and better results, and streamlining the organization so it can become leaner and meaner and thereby more effective.

HPO managers are intolerant of mediocrity and always strive for the best because they feel it can always be done better. They strongly dislike wasting time, energy and money, reject bureaucracy, and embrace simplicity.
