Tucking in the shower curtain

What does Excellence mean to you?

Tom Peters often talks about the time he met Conrad Hilton. At a gala celebrating his life, he was asked, “What was the most important lesson you’ve learned in your long and distinguished career?” His reply was, “Remember to tuck the shower curtain inside the bathtub.”

Paying attention to detail makes all the difference when we’re trying to achieve Excellence. When we miss the little things, we miss the opportunity to achieve excellence—we fall just short of it.

What is your version of this? What shower curtain do you need to tuck in?
