The Road To Excellence

The road to excellence has no finish line.

This is the main reason people give up.

Or maybe it’s the fear of success.

What do you think is the main reason people live with discontent in the workplace?

Like I said yesterday, maybe it’s time for a meeting.

Leadership Paradox

“I can’t give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: Try to please everybody all the time.”
– Herbert Bayard Swope

Trees near the Atlantic Ocean are under constant stress from the wind. And over time, they are shaped with a westerly lean. While they survive, they are indeed changed forever.

And quite possibly, they are happier and more courageous than “normal” trees. Only the trees know for sure.

What have the winds of society done to your attitude?

Made you stronger and more resilient?

Or, made you so fearful, you aren’t even conscious of it?

Time for a meeting?

Better Leadership Purpose?

Hope It's Not Leaning Against The Wrong Wall

Does this sound familiar?

We spend our entire career (selfishly) trying to climb the ladder of success, to become a better leader.

Rubbish.

We weren’t trying to become a better leader. We were trying to make more money and the next promotion and the newer title would take us higher and closer to our goal.

That’s the problem.

It was our goal. Our selfish goal. All about us.

Once a leader transforms herself into a servant, well, magic begins to happen.

If you’re not organized with the day-to-day stuff, it will take you longer (or maybe never) to become a servant.

2 World Class Pre-Requisites

If you would like to be world class at something, anything, you need two things.

I describe them briefly, here, in this 42-second you tube video at 35,000 feet.

They’re really simple.

Remember though, simple doesn’t mean easy. Good luck.

Who said we shouldn’t have to go into the office on Sundays?

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

Ever catch yourself, in a random moment, maybe eating lunch, or watching an inspirational movie or commercial, thinking to yourself…

I should have.

I would have.

I could have.

But now it’s too late.

No.

It’s not.

It’s never too late.

Is it?

Oh, I know what happens, we get so busy, because we’re not very organized, and so we fool ourselves into thinking our dreams are impossible.
