Here’s another Seth Godin beauty…
“Better than it needs to be.
Why not?
Why not make it more generous, more fair, more insightful than it needs to be? Why not deliver the service with more flair, more care and more urgency?
Why not do it because you can, not because you have to…”
Just imagine, just imagine for a minute, what you’d do right now if you were a better-than-you-need-to-be leader. What would you go do right now?
What about as a partner, mother or father. What would you do now if you were a better-than-you-need-to-be partner, mother or father?
For both, I’m going to listen more carefully—listen without any intent, just listen to where they’re coming from—and hear how they’re feeling.
I reckon that’ll be-a-difference-that-makes-a-difference. (If I do it well enough, it might be reciprocated.)
What will you do to make your next communication, presentation, report or analysis better-than-it-needs-to-be? And what impact is that likely to have?
I love this concept. What about you?
