Do you even care about excellence?

⁣
I ranted to Cyn about how few people value excellence. They seem to actively avoid it.⁣
⁣
Even empire-builders do this, & it's often their downfall.⁣
⁣
They settle for whatever's handy. Whatever's familiar. Whatever's 'good enough. But you can't create excellence with NON-excellent teams & tools.⁣

⁣
You have to VALUE excellence, & KNOW it when you see it.⁣
⁣
Most leaders get stuck with a mediocre photographer on their team. Why? 'Cause they failed to ensure EXCELLENT TALENT. In fact, they often don't educate themselves enough to even recognize it when they see it.⁣
⁣
Or they DO hire a talented musician, but he turns out to be a shit TEAMMATE. Why? 'Cause, the leader didn't ensure they were an EXCELLENT one. The leader didn't bother to learn what an excellent teammate even consists of.⁣
⠀⁣
If you're having trouble getting peeps in a certain role, it may be 'cause you don't value excellence enough.⁣
⠀⁣
Tony Robbins started out well. He himself was excellent. But as time went on, he built a team of 'Robbins Coaches', and they are far, far worse than he is. They are NOT excellent. And it shows.⁣
⁣
Tony allowed people who aren't sensitive to excellence to do his hiring. So, mediocrity seeped in.⁣
⁣
Steve Jobs went hardcore on excellence. He prioritized it in himself, & his team. ("Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.")⁣
⁣
Now don't get me wrong, Tony is amazing. A genius. Had a huge impact on my life. But... you can see the difference between the quality Apple puts out, and what Tony puts out, right?⁣
⠀⁣
You deserve an empire of excellence.⁣
⁣
And you can have it if you recognize excellence when you see it. If you value excellence enough. ⠀⠀⁣

I'm tagging some people who I think might like this...who I believe can clearly see value and excellence (and you dig what @ryzeonline teaches and posts ).
