Excellence

October 27, 2023 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Developing a mindset focused on the pursuit of excellence involves a couple of ideas.

Dedication: Any pursuit in life requires dedication, and this is true of excellence. The task is not easy, but worth it.

Take 5: Build a routine that sets aside five minutes everyday to focus on an area of excellence.

Read, read, read…listen, listen, listen: This one stands alone!

Rule of the last 10%: Too many get to 90% and coast to the finish line. Excellence requires finishing well.

Develop the habit: Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act. It is a habit.”

A Teaching Leader

Leadership thoughts are found everywhere. I appreciate friends who are constantly looking for and sharing these thoughts with me.

A few years ago, a good friend sat down to have some tea before going to bed and on the tea bag he read, “To learn, read. To know, write. To master, teach.” Unknown

The thought is powerful and has great application to our leadership.

The last part of the thought encompasses the whole of it. Most of us have heard, known, or experienced how the greatest amount of learning takes place when we teach. Teaching the material helps us master it.

Learn, Know, Master…

“To learn, read. To know, write. To master, teach.” Teabag

The thought is powerful and has great application for leadership. Think for a moment.

Leaders must be students, learning from every possible source. Leaders must also produce what they learn in a format that others can use for years to come. Write it down!

The last part of this thought encompasses the whole purpose of this post. Experience has demonstrated that mastery takes place when we teach. As we learn, we write down thoughts in preparation for teaching, which strengthen our knowledge of the subject. Teaching the material then leads to mastery of the subject.
