Execution is all about the little things (basics)
Management stifles innovation because it is focused on
- The simple “basics” are the game changers when competing at elite levels
- NBA coach Ken Eastman (assistant to Doc Rivers) found that poor execution of the “little things” cost them 32 points per game
- You perform at the level of intensity and excellence at which you train, so focus 100% effort and excellence on “every” …
- Every second of every minute of every game/workday
- Everybody, in every role, performing at maximum potential
- Every task, no matter how mundane
-
Lapses of a few “unimportant tasks” done poorly or a few minutes of “poor effect” build up over time and become the deciding factor in leading or falling behind
I-mprovement
What 1% will You improve today?
- Plateaus are taboo, so each day target a new “next level” …
- Next level focus (being fully present)
- Next level preparation
- Next level self-discipline
- Top performers take two or three “next steps” each and every week, month, quarter, and season to get to that “next level”
- Move on rapidly from both good and bad events. Success is rented not owned and rent is due every day, thus we have to move on to:
- The next challenge
- The next area to improve
- The next project
- The next «win»
G-rowth Mindset
Top performers ALWAYS want to grow …
- Everyone who aspires to greatness has to be willing to be teachable and coachable
- Commit daily to …
- Listen more (even to the things that are “hard” to hear)
- Work harder (give even 1 % more)
- Learn more (even outside your core area)
- Connect more (how can you help and add more value to those around you?)
- Past results do not guarantee tomorrow’s success:
- Success is not about what you have accomplished, it’s what you should have accomplished with the talent that you possess
- What matters most is not what you know, it’s what you need to know to get to where you want to go
