Don’t give me no “good enough” lines and keep your thoughts to yourself
I cleaned my garage this week.
By cleaning I mean that twice a year I take everything out. Power-wash and repaint the floor with an anti-skid gray glossy paint.
I then spray off everything in the garage and place it back in its assigned place.
I like a clean garage.
My “good enough” line on my garage is probably higher than yours.
That is the beauty of the “good enough” line.
My good enough line is mine, and yours is yours.
Each organization has to set a good enough line and then stick to it.
Just like mission drift, there can be “good enough line drift.”
We can drift too high in a pursuit of excellence, which is unhealthy, or we can get lazy and allow ourselves to drift below into mediocrity. Either is destructive, and neither is effective.
My intention with these posts has been to make you ask questions and determine your own “good enough” line, not dictate it for you.
For some, it will be the conviction of a pursuit of the idol of excellence; for others, the sin of slothful mediocrity.
What have you done to safeguard your own standards?
