This year our team has been talking about the Infinite Game, from Simon Sinek’s book. He talks about winning in a totally different fashion than I think we’re all used to.
Winning is about staying in the game, continuing to play, not giving up, and being resilient.
This concept can sometimes feel overwhelming. It got me thinking about another book our team at Gibson drew on in recent years - The Excellence Dividend by Tom Peters. One of things I found most useful in this book was that Tom talks about how excellence is all about the next five minutes.
Excellence is another one of those big topics that can seem huge, and hard, and difficult, yet Tom captures it so well. It’s about what you’re doing next.
Excellence is the next five minutes.
