During the month of March, my eyes were glued to the basketball games both men and women! In my estimation, some games are won by the players and some referee calls are questionable.In the workplace, some employees are on target and some plod along under the radar. Just as in basketball, some players are leaders and some are influenced by their team members. Is winning important to you or do you accept being the low man on the totem pole?
Is your job, just that, a job with a few strings attached or are you the innovative one who believes that the company can move forward and continually succeed? What do you contribute to the mission of the company? Once you come clean and lift off your mask and face the authentic you, the world will be a different place. Your mission will be real and you will contribute your strengths without fear of repercussions.
Life is a journey and you could be the one who makes a difference at work and at home. You may have a resume and a job description, and you do abide by them, but beyond that are everyday connections with people. Being the center of attention is not where you shine, having a plan is the trajectory that matters. Following an action plan gives you the guidance that you need to be a success.
Winning by default is like coming in third place because you really didn't try to win? Nevertheless, nobody says that you cannot try again! Someone has to win, why not you? This is a good time to pick up the pieces and move on to another territory. Business acumen is not a given and certainly it does demand many things such as knowledge and experience, which takes time to develop. Now is your turn to reach your goal. You can be super-optimistic but super-practical trumps it every time. Give your attention to what the business needs not what you must have.
The business game is somewhat like Monopoly but shaking a dice won't always help you reach your goal. Thinking critically about specifics and the people you want to reach will be the tool that matters.
Pat yourself on the back and review all your good work. Be encouraged by your consistency and energy. The path to success is always paved with your potential.Learn from your mistakes and make the change. The journey is worth the effort.
