Is Good Enough Enough?

As a leader you have probably spent years making things happen with the resources you have.
In response to projects, many organizations figure out the resources they've got and then work hard to do something ‘good enough’. On time, within budget. Meeting spec etc. etc., after all, it is your job.
You end up, if you're lucky, with something that works.
Is that enough? Is that what you are prepared to settle for? Don’t get me wrong I know there are few perfect scenarios, however do you/we ever question what we are faced with and adapt to produce something that is great?
As a leader your growth and potentially recognition and promotion comes down to 2 things:
  • What you do with challenges
  • What you do with opportunities

Do you see opportunities in challenge?
Do you shy away from opportunities by either ignoring them or offering them to others?
Do you play small rather than play big?
What is your default setting?
What’s the next step for you to be better than good enough?
Feel free to leave a comment with what it is for you.
And……  if you need some support and encouragement on the way from a coach give me a call. I’m more than willing to help you achieve things you never imagined you could.
