The Best Get a Little Better

Sales guru Tom Hopkins likes to remind people that top professionals go back to the basics at least every year.

My work shows effective strategists regularly review and evaluate progress against plan. And leaders like to look at the view over the next hill, just past the horizon.

How about you?

How long since you've checked:

• your knowledge against the best in your field?
• your performance against your plan?
• your message against your values?

Take the time to review and reflect. Update your skills. Explore your experience, don't just accumulate it. You can learn from your mistakes as well as your success.

In this way, every day the best get a little better. How about you?

Quote of Note

"Almost every crisis contains within itself the seeds of success as well as the roots of failure."
