Hi Friends …
“What does it take to get to the NEXT LEVEL?” You hear that question in almost every board room and meeting room – regardless of the industry or current performance level. There have been many sleepless nights pondering how we can move our organizations, our people, and ourselves to the next level of success and security. Admittedly, I’ve lost a few winks over this one, myself. But that insomnia has been reduced by a truly helpful resource – appropriately titled, THE NEXT LEVEL – that I’ve come to rely on
for practical advice.
In his informative and practical book, best-selling author David Cottrell (along with colleague Alice Adams) pinpoints several common sense, easy-to-follow strategies for reaching new heights of performance and success. One of the many gems that resonated with me is quite paradoxical in nature:
Stop relying totally on the things you know well and do well!
My immediate reaction to that was: Whoa … hold the phone! That’s illogical. It’s convoluted! What kind of “advice” is that? However once the author explained, I got it. You see, the things we know well and do well are COMFORT ZONES. They’ve brought us success in the past … they make us feel good, skillful, and valuable. But here’s the catch: The more we stay in our comfort zones, the less growth we experience. And in this ever-changing world we live in, today’s skills quickly become yesterday’s news.
So what’s the answer … what’s the pathway to “the next level?” Keep doing what you do well AND engage in activities that produce growth and advancement. Refine your skills. Learn new ones. Tackle new challenges. Periodically “re-invent” yourself and help your people do the same. Pursue laurels – don’t rest on them. And remember that what got you to this level is not necess-arily what will get you to the next one. As the old saying goes: The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing and expecting the results to be different.
