Mirror on the wall

Excellence is having an honest conversation with yourself. And then doing something about it.

Every now and then, I’ll have a car crash of a meeting. You’ll have been there too.

Something doesn’t work. Technology failure. Mismatched expectations. There’s a sense of uncomfortableness in the room (and online). Almost embarrassing. But you limp through. The end can’t come quick enough.

Yes, this is poor.

But the tragedy is that too many people think it is satisfactory. They believe it’s acceptable. And do nothing to prevent it from happening next time.

There’s a fine line between success and failure. But the first step is to take responsibility.

Be accountable. Help others too. Use that mirror on the wall. Reflect on your experience. But don’t dwell too much. Take action. Make Excellence your mission.
