In the midst of tough economic times, it is relatively easy for a manager to lose sight of what is possible. Before we look ahead let's look into the recent past.
Look at what has happened in the past 3 years:
iPhone spread like wildfire. It did not exist three years ago today. Can we exist without it now?
Three years ago today almost no one outside of Alaska knew the name Sarah Palin. Now she has a best-selling book.
Look at what has happened in the past six months:
Tiger Woods, once the absolute platinum level of corporate sponsorships, has dropped dramatically in the public's view. In the meantime Kobe Bryant has risen dramatically as the epitome of a team player. How quickly things change.
As a manager, you don't know what is possible over the next three years, but do know that extraordinarily good or bad results can occur. Prepare yourself everyday to deliver a great performance. You just never know which performance will break through into the spotlight. Don't ever take success for granted, but also don't ever assume that frustrating results will be around forever. Be on top of your game every day! And one day you will generate amazing results.
