How high are your standards?ππ½
Iβve learned that the true benchmark of success is not who I can surpass, but how consistently I am reaching and exceeding my own high standards.
Standards are not easily tossed aside or broken. They ought to be non-negotiable. In fact, a standard that can be broken is not really a standardβ¦itβs just a suggestion.
π‘A standard is mandatory. A suggestion is not. Period.
In fact, having a standard should be a standard.
As a line employee, I always strived to have higher standards than my managers could ever have of me. With every complaint, I brought forth a suggestion. With every suggestion, I volunteered to help implement it. With every implementation, I offered to see it through until it was successful.
βοΈSo carefully and meticulously create personal standards, model those standards and stand for those standards. Stand for them everyday, keep them high everyday, and serve with excellence everyday.
ππ½Takeaway: No matter who you are or where you work, always remember that YOU are a brand. Let your brand be known for having high standards.
