Everything started innocent when I was looking for casters.
I have an idea for sports equipment and decided to build a prototype but I need casters
Those rotating wheels placed under office chairs, trolleys, etc.
I had to ask three salespeople where they could be found at the big box hardware store, and then the third salesperson actually checked their inventory on the computer.
I reluctantly bought four casters from them.
It turns out that the bad thing is not just the service.
The casters were too noisy and not smooth enough to mark them on the floor.
The next day is a trip to castelland.
Only shop for casters.
They have what I\'m looking.
I took them home and installed them very successfully.
I should have gone to an expert in the first place.
Better service and first class products.
Great shopping experience. Lesson learned.
Oh, the casters are not expensive.
They are cheaper than the big box hardware store.
That night, when I was watching the Hell kitchen episode on TV, I suddenly thought, in all burnt scallops, raw lamb, overcooked steaks, forgotten decorations, raw contestants sweating their backs in food, and the general willingness to try to sneak away substandard food from chef Gordon Ramsey made me realize that one of these very mediocre finalists will be the head chef of the BC Whistler Araxi.
Are you kidding? (
Araxi should care about this marketing on their behalf. )
You don\'t even need to perform well.
First of all, you must be lucky enough to qualify for the show.
No one on the show did well in any way.
They all seem to have collapsed under pressure.
They all had their good nights and bad nights.
The only thing that seems to be consistent is their collective inconsistency.
However, even though they are extremely mediocre, one of them will win the grand prize.
Only need to do the best of mediocrity.
No player is a clear leader.
They are equally mediocre.
In a recent reading of a blog post by Seth Godin, he mentioned that a Washington Post columnist was recently fired for not getting enough network traffic for his blog post.
In the past, when people read newspapers, there was no way to know which columns readers were reading.
But in today\'s digital age, a simple counter tells the story.
In today\'s digital age, you can\'t just walk away because of mediocrity.
Is the newspaper about change?
You bet they are.
Journalists and columnists will have to start writing what our customer wants to read --
Give us, customers, what we want, not just say what they say, but not whether we are reading or not.
A recent Best Buy tour shows how mediocre the service is.
I am looking for a simple desktop microphone for a computer plugged in via a USB terminal.
I asked one of my colleagues.
\"I don\'t think we sell these things,\" he replied.
\"I asked him if he had someone he could ask for and he turned around and did so.
After a while, he said, \"No, we don\'t sell these things.
\"His Department head happened to walk by that moment and I turned to her and asked if she could point me in the direction of the inserted desktop microphone
Access via USB terminal.
She walked from me to the bottom shelf and pulled up the microphone I had been looking.
I turned to the first sales assistant and simply said, \"I think you do sell these.
He replied, \"I asked a man who said we didn\'t.
\"For the sales assistant, this will be a good opportunity to make the customer happy.
All he has to do is smile, apologize for his mistake and move on. But he didn\'t.
It is more important for him to be right than to make customers happy.
This is too mediocre.
Sadly, any organization has the ability to do that.
In this case, Best Buy is mediocre.
Then, the answer to a question appeared on the LinkedIn bulletin board this morning: \"There are 20-80-
Rules of management.
No matter what happens, 20% of people will hate you.
80% there is no opinion in any case.
20% love you anyway.
\"Is it just me, or can you do math too?
Add up to 120%, don\'t you?
This question is answered by a self in this way. professed MBA.
He used the letters behind the name in his profile.
He seems proud of his MBA.
Of course, we can let this guy relax a bit by making an honest mistake, but the problem is: he didn\'t check his work before submitting it.
This is a mediocre effort.
How many times has he submitted his work without checking?
Putting this answer in front of millions of people without checking his work makes him look sloppy --
MBA sloppy.
This is mediocre.
If people who don\'t have an MBA make the same mistake, we simply ignore it as if they don\'t know what they\'re talking about.
But this guy is an MBA.
He should know what he\'s talking about.
He should check his work.
But he didn\'t, because he did a very mediocre effort.
If you want to live by title, you \'d better be meticulous.
People are watching.
But even with an MBA, \"good enough\" seems good enough.
This is the problem facing North American enterprises today.
Mediocrity is rampant.
\"Good Enough\" is good enough.
But there is good news: All that is needed to be outstanding is to surpass mediocrity.
Anyone can win in this market.
This should be encouraging news for any organization that wants to be the best in their field.
But in order to take a better step than mediocrity, you must want to be the best person in your field.
Sadly, most people don\'t.
So they are as mediocre as everyone else.
They accept the mediocrity of the people.
They accept the idea of mediocrity.
They accept mediocre management.
They accept rolling somewhere in the middle of the package.
They train their people so they can-
Not prominent--
Just supervisor-
That mark is also often missed.
If your people are good but not very good, if your management is good but not very good, if your sales figures are good but not very good if your security data is good, but not very good, if your innovation is good, but not very good, if your service is good, but not very good, if your result is good, but not very good, then you have a corporate culture that is \"good enough. \"Don\'t deny it.
It\'s right there and everyone else can see it.
Your results prove this.
To move from mediocrity to greatness, seven attitudes need to be adopted: * the attitude of money, safety and safety, * the attitude of resilience, * the attitude of contact, * the attitude of gratitude, * attitude of service, * attitude of leadership, * inflammatory®Attitude.
The difference between greatness and mediocrity is one step.
Sadly, you may not be taking this step because the place you are in seems to be good enough.
