Most organizations are composed of average performers. Possibly, over 80 percent of every organization is composed of average performers. There is nothing wrong with average, unless you want to be thought of as a superior performer. When that occurs, average becomes less satisfying.
With as few as on in ten performing in a superior way, you might ask; what is it that determines superior performance. A simple, generic definition is: "Performing in a way that exceeds that of your peers." You might be thinking, how can I be a superior performer? Part of the answer to that very important question is found in your ability to see the advantage of going beyond. Beyond the manger's expectations, beyond the company's needs and beyond the job description.
Initiative is working in the "white spaces" of your job description. Initiative is helping and educating your fellow worker. Initiative is about making others look good and knowing that you don't have to worry about making yourself look good. My mentor and friend Zig Ziglar always said, "if you help enough people to get what they want in life, you will get everything you want."
PLAY LIKE A CHAMPION!
