Excellence > mediocrity ∴ don’t choose mediocrity

Whether serving a customer or client, assisting a colleague, or contributing to your community; if you want excellence then you need to give your best. Mediocrity is an option that many accept… simply because they fail to choose excellence. And remember this secret formula:

MEDIOCRITY = ENTITLEMENT + COMPLACENCY + INDIFFERENCE

Consider Secret Santa

He has a deep down visceral understanding of how fortunate he is and he is grateful for it. He is driven to pay back what has been given to him… anonymously. It’s one of the most powerful laws of human nature. Imagine anorganization that is full of “Secret Santas”. What would customers be saying? How would people describe morale? What would happen with safety? How would it affect quality? How hard would it be to recruit and retain staff or members? What would it do to profits or your operating budget? What would conference attendees be saying?
