Winning At The Office

"The player who gives his best is sure of success, while the player who gives less than his best is a failure." - John Wooden

No player has lost who's done their best and keeps their smile. At that point, a short-sided score measures only skill, not real victory.

What does it mean to have a best effort at the office?

Showing up on time, and putting in the time.
Smiling, and keeping a steady heart rate.
Speaking positively, and with poised enthusiasm.
Working on the top priority items, with a plan.
Committing to development of those I supervise.
Being accountable and forgiving.

Everyone's standards are different, which is natural and fine. We win when we meet our own, thoughtfully considered.
