I chose this pic "Magical Drops by i5yal" to accompany my blog today because I believe there are many artists out there who truly value Outstanding Results and deliver it in the quality of their amazing art work.
What if...
The way YOU communicated to others, was by letting "Outstanding Results do the talking"?
This is value # 1 for Team TCI
If we want to maintain the highest standards in our industry and be an example of excellence for others, there's no use saying we are. We have to BE, DO & HAVE an example of excellence in each and every team member in everything we do.
Actions speak louder than words - yeah?
This may not be something you are deliberately focusing on...yet. There may be days where just getting through the to-do list as best you can is enough. That's ok.
If you would like to create Outstanding Results start by asking yourself some high quality questions that will move you in the direction of this becoming a 'non negotiable standard' in delivering and measuring results. Here are some of the questions that Sharon Pearson teaches us to ask ourselves in order to strengthen this value:
- What would the result look like if it were outstanding?
- What's the criteria for outstanding results?
- Be objective - are YOU delivering outstanding results?
- Do you hold yourself or others accountable to their results?
- What did you do today to set up outstanding results for tomorrow?
- Who is your model of excellence for outstanding results?
Set yourself an intention each week to focus on delivering outstanding results until you're nailing it.
Start with, the way you answer your phone, the notes you take, the setting of daily intentions, the holding yourself accountable to committing to completion of what you say you want to achieve in your day.
How you do the small things is how you do the big things. If you're letting yourself off the hook by only half heartedly doing the small things there's bound to be a ripple effect.
Trust that's inspired you to lift your game... Enjoy!
As always I would love to hear your thoughts, leave me a comment so I know you've stopped by. Thanks for reading xx
What if.... Wow
ReplyDeletePretty potent attributes. Such a powerhouse.
From the beginning to the end this piece packs punch.
That's outstanding.
I want to be outstanding. How?
I could only answer 2 of the 6 questions not outstanding.
What exercises can I practice to be consistently actioning outstanding & deliver everyday?
I thought I was doing this for me, at the moment I'm not sure what me needs.
What do I need to be outstanding?
Hey 'Evaa" thank you so much for your reply and I must say your response is an outstanding one! There's a huge difference between having someone comment "love it" and having someone asking more questions how they can apply it to themselves.
ReplyDeleteYou can be outstanding by making the choice to be that and develop that right now.
I love that you have identified your gaps already. That is outstanding feedback to you.
As an exercise I would suggest choosing one thing that you would like to get outstanding results with. For example.
Say you want to achieve outstanding productivity in your day.
First you would find a model of excellence and find out HOW they do what they do and the THINKING behind it. For example, Sharon Pearson's daily structure looks something like this.
The morning looks like:
THINKING = Take care of others first
HOW: 1. Check Facebook (which is where we communicate as a team and as a community of students) answer any questions that relate to the needs of others.
2. Answer emails
3. Complete any Daily tasks - beginning with those that serve OTHERS first
After lunch looks like:
THINKING = The stuff Sharon is working on
HOW: 4. Work on her own projects & innovations
Unpack strategies of success like this for everything you wish to achieve outstanding results for and implement them consistently for the best result. Then as an added bonus...teach them to someone else :)
To begin I would say focus on only what you can manage each week until you nail it. One or two things to begin with and as you learn to develop your criteria for outstanding and discover what you need then you can expand the skill to all areas.
Thank you for asking high quality questions!
