That young promise of large-scale average performance got me thinking. Not about scintillant bulbs and why they inflame out before they should but about desperate promises and how disappointed we get when something or someone deluge short of our expectations.
The axiom is that we are all hampered explainable by the people in our lives to consistently perform addicted tasks. It may be moulding a sale, ballot up the kids from rear, pike a board nooner or writing a toilet paper report. If we are perceived as inconsistent in delivering the goods, the effect can be disastrous... conceivably akin ending the interrelation.
We want people to notice they can count on us to be a trusted sister, good neighbor and a top performing employee. We strive to be consistently attentive to our spouse, offspring and family members and we want our clients and customers to think of us as a hot property vendor. Catechize yourself this problem, on a scale of 1 to 10, how consistent am I in my relationships? Do I live up to other ' s expectations? Do I live up to my own expectations? Am I considered a " go to " person when the filthy lucre are down? If not, why not?
When it comes to control and undertaking cutting in Corporate America, it goes something like this...
The boss calls the manager and blurts, " Cut expenses and staff by 20 % and do it by the end of the stretch. " Once high with the foul mission, precious junior time is spent considering partition staff allotment ' s personal needs or challenges before the cuts are mythical. Forceful managers have an easier time making those difficult decisions because they know their staff. They have already identified those who have a proven track record of giving a 110 % effort on a regular basis and those who continually lag behind. In today ' s squirrelly economy, it is imperative to be recognized as a consistent and valuable contributor to your company ' s success.
Ray Kroc, wanted his hamburgers to taste the same at every McDonald ' s across the country and now the world. The Big Mac tastes the same in Steamboat Springs as it does in Stockholm. Why was that so important? Because Mr. Kroc knew that McDonald ' s customers would value that and reward his company by returning again and again. McDonald ' s isn ' t the most successful franchise in the world because the Big Mac is the best burger... it ' s because we value how consistent and predictable the food is. In fact, we value it so much there ' s even a Big Mac Museum in North Huntingdon, PA!
What ' s the lesson here? We value things and people we can truly count on. We appreciate knowing that a person isn ' t going to disappoint us. We put a great deal of stock in that and so do the struggling companies of today.
If you knew my husband and coaching partner Bob, the one word that comes to mind is consistent. He is always on time, very dependable, hilariously funny, supportive, helpful and is never in a bad mood. As a habitually tardy and moody cranky pants, it ' s almost annoying! He is exactly the same guy every day, morning to evening, day in and day out. He is my " go to " guy and he ' ll never hear " you ' re fired! " from me. Instead I pray to can model his behavior, be recognized as a value in other ' s lives and do all I can to be a better spouse, step - mom, friend, and coach.
We can all take it to the bank that being known as a consistent and valuable contributor will pay big dividends in every relationship and in every corner of our genius iq world!
