Looking In The Mirror

Guy Kawasaki makes some fantastic points in "The Art of Firing Peope" with the last one probably being the most important - Look In The Mirror.

This simple statement is probably one of the key things missing in the process of becoming a great leader or great company - not just as it relates to firing someone but as it relates to everything about excellence. Think about the honest answer to two simple questions:

How much time do you spend at the beginning of every day planning out the most important thing(s) to be done?

How much time do you spend at the end every day reflecting on what you did and how much of that time is spent thinking about what you did poorly, what you shouldn't have done and what you should have done?

Your success is directly related to how much time you spend on these two simple activities - and don't think that having a drink with your team and talking about everything that you did right counts!
