    The True Value Of Business Excellence

    Per Hugh Macleod:Leaders want their people to be excellent, and they should. And their people want to be excellent too. Every person on some level aspires to one form of excellence or another. The need to excel and to fulfill our potential is innate and irrevocablBut it's not that simple. Because humans also want autonomy, connection, and respect. We don't like being commanded around – and we don't want to feel like cogs in a machine.  Excellence cannot be commanded. It cannot be compelled. It has to be inspired. It has to be drawn out. It has to be earned. When people feel like they are part of a winning team on an inspiring mission, high performance and the pursuit of excellence is the natural outcome.Greg BeckChief Growth Officer & Sunbelt M&A AdvisorFocalPoint Advisory Serivceshttps://gregbeck.focalpointcoaching.com/https://transactionreadiness-gregbeck.scoreapp.com/gbeck@focalpointcoaching.comgbeck@sunbeltnetwork.comOffice: Office: 937-866-4611 ext 5Cell: 513-379-2399www.linkedin.com/in/greg-beck
