We pretty much do what we set out to do

(photo: Yesterday on a plane home from Houston… reminding us we focus where we want to focus, and that makes all the difference in what we see… and achieve)

What would you do if you could do anything?

Would you focus on saving a few dollars here and there by cutting expenses?

Would you focus on earning new contracts worth an exponentially greater revenue than a few dollars?

The difference in where we spend our time is the difference in the results we get.

Set the bar low or set it high, odds are we’ll get close.

The two keys nobody wants to hear for creating Magic

(photo: The secret? It’s just two things.)

Focus and discipline are the two main ingredients for creating Magic.

Focus on the basics.

Discipline yourself to never get bored with the basics.

That’s it.

It ain’t complicated.

But it does require world class determination.

Houston we have a (money) problem

(photo: Last night at dinner a block from hotel. Big is better? Portion size? Paycheck size?)

Houston, we have a problem because the ladder we are climbing is leaning against the wrong wall.

The reason we begin the corporate climb is because we liked the way we thought we’d feel when we’d have a higher position and therefore greater respect and admiration from others.

How’s that dream working out?

The higher we go, the farther we get from using our first love, our wheelhouse…

They are the rare exception: The people who go on to become incredibly great leaders.

We may know a handful, or less, personally.

Never underestimate the power of joy, versus the drive for status and comfort.

The great leadership paradox and the demand for excellence

(photo: Last night at PREP office… want to become a better leader? Teach.)

Ever feel like a misfit, a crazy person, an unwelcome thinker, an overachiever, a zealot?

Plain vanilla leadership satisfies the masses because it is the most socially accepted flavor of leadership.

This type of managerial work is necessary in order to keep the pipe line full with the mediocre work known as the daily grind.

Ever work in a place where excellence is demanded?

Demanded.

Not hoped for, strived for…

Demanded.

Are leaders really just environmentalists?

The most important thing a leader can do probably isn’t on their list today.

Nobody’s perfect.

Shame isn’t it?

Won’t be on the agenda tomorrow either.

Why?

One of the great mysteries in business.

Probably has something to do with the bottom-line and all that.

The leader’s job is to create an exceptional environment.

Is profit the goal or is profit the reward?

These two approaches create the DNA of the environment.

Each approach has a direct and proportional ripple effect on employees.

We pick one whether we are conscious of it or not.
