A Quest for Excellence - Article
Inspirational Audio Message from Soup
Win A Free Copy of A New Book for Managers
Dear Ann,
��� 
A QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE
This past month I had the opportunity to speak to the University of Texas
football team and The Atlanta Falcons. In my talks I shared that the best of the
best make their life and work a quest for excellence and that there is a
difference between success and excellence.

Success is often measured by comparison to others. Excellence, on the other
hand, is all about being the best we can be and maximizing our gifts, talents
and abilities to perform at our highest potential.

We live in a world that loves to focus on success and loves to compare. We are
all guilty of doing this. However, I believe that to be our best we must focus
more on excellence and less on success. We must focus on being the best we can
be and realize that our greatest competition is not someone else but ourselves.

For example, coaching legend John Wooden often wouldn���⒠��t tell his players who
they were playing each game. He felt that knowing the competition was
irrelevant. He believed that if his team played to the best of their ability
they would be happy with the outcome. In fact, John Wooden never focused on
winning. He had his team focus on teamwork, mastering the fundamentals, daily
improvement and the process that excellence requires. As a result he and his
teams won A LOT.

A focus on excellence was also the key for golfing legend Jack Nicklaus. His
secret was to play the course not the competition. He simply focused on playing
the best he could play against the course he was playing. While others were
competing against Jack, he was competing against the course and himself.

The same can be said for Apple���⒠��s approach with the iPod, iPhone and iPad. When
they created these products they didn���⒠��t focus on the competition. Instead they
focused on creating the best product they could create. As a result, rather than
measuring themselves against others they have become the measuring stick.

We have a choice as individuals, organizations and teams. We can focus on
success and spend our life looking around to see how our competition is doing,
or we can look straight ahead towards the vision of greatness we have for
ourselves and our teams. We can look at competition as the standard or as an
indicator of our progress towards our own standards. We can chase success or we
can embark on a quest for excellence and focus 100% of our energy to become our
best... and let success find us.

Ironically, when our goal is excellence the outcome and byproduct is often
success.

Do you agree that there is a difference between success and excellence?

Basking Ridge, NJ

"Do You Understand the Hiring Manager?"

Speaker: Alex Freund, Landing Expert - Career Coaching Services

TOPIC

This presentation exposes the thinking of the hiring manager. It shows how the interview is focused on the needs of the company and the hiring manager -- and less on the candidate.

How is the hiring manager checking out the candidate well beyond the resume and interview? What are the values that are important for the hiring manager?

You will learn how to search for those and answeer interview questions properly.

SPEAKER

ALEX FREUND: Alex Freund had a long career working for major Fortune 500 companies in the capacity of Corporate Director. Initially, after graduating from Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration, Alex worked in hotels and hospitals. From there, he moved on managing the complex challenges of feeding thousands of employees in many locations throughout the country. Alex has managed some 35 different departments also known as Facilities Administration or Support Services.

Alex has extensive experience with interviewing people. He has also practical training in career coaching. Consequently, he formed LandingExpert ����� Career Coaching services (www.LandingExpert.com). He is prominent in a number of networking groups and has helped many job seekers with their career searches, providing them with tools, information, marketing material, and one-on-one preparation for the interview.

Alex lived in three continents and speaks five languages. Currently, he lives in the Princeton, NJ area with his wife and twon grown children.
