The Art of Excellence: Don’t Forget the Fundementals

Innovation is the art of refining the basics. Picasso didn’t start with abstract; he mastered realism first.

Elevate your success by mastering the fundamentals.

Excellence is built on the ordinary.

The best leaders are those who can inspire change in themselves and others.

Change isn’t just about switching jobs—it’s about transforming your mindset and approach.

Be a lifelong learner and watch how opportunities unfold!

At the start, you know you need to challenge the status quo. You embrace change as an opportunity to grow.

As you become the leader you fear mistakes rather than the uncertainty of innovation.

Change is constant, keep improving.

Running is running right?

But running towards something is completely different from running away from something.

Play and fear are motivators but they generate different processes.

What are you leading lead you?

Good decisions don’t just come out of thoughtful curiosity and savvy thinking.

It comes out of being in the right mindset to make a good decision.

There is a word hangry for a reason. The question to ask is should you be making a decision in your state?

Everything in moderation.

Too little information slows learning and improvement.

Too much information overwhelms and shuts down learning and processing.

Balance is key to creating progress and limiting confusion.

Doing more things is seen as important but it bulks you up and slows you down.

Doing less things better slims you down and speeds you up.

More is less, less is more.

Leadership is not about being the best.

It is about painting a picture of what the future could be and supporting others to be the best versions of themselves.

True leadership is getting out of the way and letting your team be awesome.

Having a metric is designed to be a target, more good, less bad.

If only this were true. A metric is just a guide for direction.

Unpacking the nuances around the metrics is going to be the only way to reveal if your team is performing or not.

From average to good requires fundamental, structural improvements. It is a huge jump.

From good to great requires tiny improvements and consistently not making mistakes.

It is less of what you do do, and more of what you don’t.
