Demand more of yourself, your teams, and your leaders. Demand more because you believe it can be done. Demand more because you believe your team can do it. Demand more because you LOVE doing it.
Your heritage is one of responsibility, duty, sacrifice. Your heritage is one that was powered by possibility. The early Americans did NOT measure their effort. They did NOT look for someone to blame and point the finger at someone or something out there. They dove into the deep end. They took responsibility.
They pushed for performance. They demanded more.
And, in the process, many of us gained liberty and justice and the opportunity to pursue a wide variety of occupations toward our collective happiness.
It is our job to make it liberty and justice for ALL.
It is our responsibility to keep pushing for performance.
Today, demand more of yourself, your teams, and your next generations of leaders. Today, in your companies, corporations, and collections of people push them to grab the reins, give them all the opportunity to work as you do, and stop settling for anything less than exceptional effort. Build a team worth remembering. Build products and services worth buying and deliver them without excuse and without compromise. Stop trying to be too many things to too many markets and become something distinct to someone, and some market, that SEES you and your offering as extremely UNIQUE. Go!!
This IS your heritage.
For additional inspiration buy the HBO film, John Adams. You will be inspired. You and I were made for so much more…
Demand more.
