Prepared to Win There is no
certainty in our competitive arena, whether it be sport or business. There is only uncertainty. It exists in every moment we address the
challenge of that arena and for every member of our team.
We cannot
always choose or change the conditions and circumstances in that arena, but we
can always choose and change our attitude.
So it is
our choice to see every moment as an opportunity to manage uncertainty and turn
it in our favour. Because we cannot know
which moment will be the turning point that gives us the Winning Difference,
each must be visited with performance excellence. Everyone in the team must be prepared for
that. And since we are surrounded by
those moments, we must be better prepared than the competition to use them – or
we lose them to the competition.
It is also
our choice to stay the way we are, or to persistently improve personal
performance and so deliver personal excellence in our changing arenas.
People with
a winning attitude make the right choices.
The
Strategy and Discipline to achieving this has, as its primary focus, to build
on personal strengths. Its secondary
focus is to address weakness where it interferes with delivery of personal
strengths or with those of colleagues.
Personal
Performance plans set a balance in our personal three lane motor way – Career
(fast lane); Family, Friends and Community (middle lane); Personal (inside
lane). It equips you to train, to
compete under pressure and to regenerate so that stress does not become the
enemy.
