There are many paths that lead to success. There are precious few that lead to excellence.
Watching some powerful models of pursuers of excellence over the years, I notice some commonalities:
- They paint a clear picture of “where we’re heading” — the VISION.
- That VISION always embodies a collective greater good.
- They model the ways of thinking and ways of behaving that point toward that VISION.
- They craft achievable action steps toward that VISION,
- They measure, monitor, assess, adapt those steps, on the fly.
- They hold themselves accountable to fidelity first, and the teams they work with, as well.
- They pour resources into continual LEARNING and continuous improvement.
Excellence up ahead! It’s the high road.
We can begin today.
