Goal vs Process

Don't confuse the process with the goal.  Working on your processes to make them better, easier, and more efficient is an indispensable activity and something you should continually work on, but it is not the goal.  Making your products and services great is the goal.

#Complacency

Stretch goals make complacency impossible.  Develop a healthy disregard for the impossible.

Organizational Purpose

Organizational purpose is not about financial gain.  It reflects something more aspirational.  It explains how the people involved with an organization are making a difference, gives them a sense of meaning, and draws their support.  Does your organization have an "aspirational" purpose?  Are the people in your organization connected to your purpose?
