Omaha!
1.
Practice makes perfect. The old adage still rings true today, yet we
tend to frown upon experimentation in business. I agree that this adds expense but setting
aside some dollars for innovation is likely to improve the bottom-line;
prioritize your list and select 2 – then execute.
2.
Respect your competition. As we saw yesterday, Peyton Manning spoke respectfully
of the New England Patriots organization.
This goes to defining your level of professionalism and sets an organizational
tone of respect. Unlike the character
from the SeaHawks and his rant that followed the game…. When you respect your competition you can only turn inward and look to innovate - competition helps innovation.
3.
Have a short memory. Making mistakes as you execute your plan will
happen, and sometimes we are quick to say “We tried that before…..”; this is an
idea killer. Learn from mistakes and
be willing to try again – it's a sure way to rebound quickly as you and your
organization continues to do their best. Athletes are very good at forgetting a bad play - they quickly move on. We saw that yesterday when Phil Mickelson shot a 7 on a hole only to play on and score a birdie on the next.
