Guidelines to Play B.I.G. Daily

B–ASICS

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/work day
  • 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

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»
