TAKING OWNERSHIP // Excellence can’t happen in the attic. You need to be practicing and practising at all times. And without a train set, you’re stuck. What’s a train set? It’s any project, product or team you have agency over.

MAKE A DECISION // Just make a decision. All they wanted was a straight-forward answer to a straight-forward question. But you chose to sit on the fence. It didn’t help things. When it comes to poor performance, nothing fuels failure more than indecision.

PRIORITISE YOUR THINGS // In more peaceful times, you plan to visit the Russian capital. So much to do, so little time, what will you see? The Kremlin, Red Square, Saint Basil’s Cathedral? If only you had a simple way to prioritise!

SUCCESSION PLANNING // Imagine if your only responsibility was to drive the business forward—to pursue Excellence. What would you do? Where would you start? Perhaps delegate your day to day, develop better leaders and take succession planning seriously.
