You’re Different

Professional sportspeople and elite athletes are different. Spend time with them and you will see what I mean. Generally they are dedicated, focussed obsessive and disciplined in a way that the rest of us just are not. That is how they get to be elite athletes.

Being a business leader is very similar to being an elite athlete, I believe. You may not have to wear leathers or specialist equipment but your approach to running your business will be similar to an elite athlete.

In the same way that an Olympic athlete’s whole demeanour and preparation will differ from an enthusiastic park runner, yours will differ from the rest of the population, and that is only right and proper.

Not too many people have what it takes to choose to lead a business and fewer still have what it takes to lead a business well. Other people’s performance standards are not yours and that is for a reason. You have chosen to do what you do, to put yourself out there. It makes no sense to do all that just to succumb to mediocrity.

The people who depend upon you deserve that you become the best you can be.

So the questions for this week are;

• To what extent are you comfortable being different?
• Are you operating at 100%?
• If not, what are you leaving on the table?
• This is an elite sport, is your attitude and performance truly at elite level?
