Good enough seldom is.

Good enough seldom is.
Organisations that are continually productive and profitable incessantly strive for quality and excellence.
Acknowledging that your customers are not prepared to accept an attitude of "that's good enough," how does your organisation's quality standards rate as against its competitors?


How do your own personal levels of excellence and quality rate against your current and potential competitors in the employment market?


If you don't know the answer/s to these questions, then resolve to find them out immediately. The longer you delay, the larger the gap may be growing between you and your competition!

Winners vs. Losers

Winner
Makes mistakes and says: 'I was wrong'
Credits his good luck for winning even though it wasn't luck
Works harder and has more time Goes through a problem Shows he's sorry by making up for it Knows what to fight for and what to compromise on Says: 'I'm good, but not so good as I ought to be'. Looks up to where he is going.
Respects those who are superior to him and tries to learn from them Responsible for more than his job
Says: 'There ought to be a better way of doing this'

Loser
Says: 'It wasn't my fault'
Credits his bad luck for losing, though it wasn't luck
Is always 'too busy', too busy staying at failure
Goes around a problem
Says he's sorry but he does the same thing next time
Compromises on what he should not and wastes time with trivial matters

Says: 'I'm not as bad as a lot of people'. Looks down at those who've not yet achieved the position he has.
Resents those who are superior to him and tries to find fault
Says: "I only work here"
Says: 'Why change it? That's the way it's always been done'

Your Character and Personality

Be Different and Make a Difference!
Win-Win Mindset
Win-Win as a frame of mind which constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions.
To grow a Win-Win mindset, you need to focus on the development of three character traits:
Integrity. Integrity means treating everyone by the same set of principles.
Conforming reality to our words – keeping promises and fulfilling expectations. Being loyal to those who are not present.
Maturity. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration.
Expressing feelings and convictions with courage balanced with consideration for the feelings and convictions of another person requires maturity, particularly if the issue is very important to both parties.
An Abundance Mentality. An abundance mentality flows from a deep inner sense of personal worth and security.
It is a paradigm that states that this is a world of plenty and that there is enough for everybody. It results in the sharing of prestige, of recognition, of profits, of decision making. It opens possibilities, options, alternatives and creativity.
