“To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment.” ―James Allen
Did you get better in the first month of 2020?
Will you indirectly give $1M+ to the charity of your choice this year? The downside: It’ll take 7-10 hours of your time this year.
How will you improve your professional, personal and social Ex-Ex (Execution-Excellence) this year?
What is your definition for “Winning” in the game of life?
Ideas are great, but fruits from our labors are grown not from our great ideas; rather, from the Ex-Ex of our great ideas.
The best leaders constantly share with us, their most significant learning takes place during the “failure, get up, get better, try anew and repeat” cycle.
Life is short, business is tough and our personal lives are often, even more challenging!
Continuously strengthening your Ex-Ex muscles will positively change your life!
My leadership book goes into detail on Ex-Ex, DMQ (Decision Making Quality) and several holistically complex, leadership concepts. It’s written for the Top-7%’ers looking to lead purpose-driven lives.
It’ll help you look regret squarely in the eyes, knowing, you’ll have none or very little at the end of your life!
Since blogs are quite short; I’ll summarize a few key elements from the leadership book to consider focusing on, to improve your Ex-Ex; if you’re already a strong leader, but want to get even better in 2020.
Love Yourself Enough to Genuinely Get to Know You – Sounds a little weird, but hang with me on this one.
We all have limitations; however, the best leaders know their limitations to the nth degree of detail. Thus; they are much better prepared to overcome obstacles aligned with their limitations, during their implementation of great ideas.
Diversify the Thought Reservoirs You’re Tapping Into – Significant success in delivering Ex-Ex requires multi-faceted thinkers and doers who:
- See the same challenge in different ways
- See around corners, while others aren’t even aware the corners exist
- Embrace, without shying away from, the ambiguities discovered while Executing-Excellently
- Share what they can do vs. what they can’t do
Spread the Wealth, Power and Success – Sounds simple; yet few people in leadership positions get this and… you guessed it… Ex-Ex this concept.
Who changes the world? I believe it’s almost exclusively the Top-7%. They are the only ones with the Talent Portfolios and social consciences needed to actually implement significant positive social impact.
If you believe you’re one of these executives, we’d love to explore possible opportunities.
