Add an extra degree to all that you do this week!

This Monday I invite you to take the extra degree approach to the work you do this week (and every week!)It’s based on the fact that at 211 degrees water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And steam can even power a locomotive.This one extra degree makes a monumental difference. The simple analogy reflects the ultimate definition of excellence. Because it's the one extra degree of effort, in business and life, that can separate the good from the extraordinary!I powerfully used this in my first CEO role and a number of times throughout my global career. Articulating how strong teams could generate an extra degree of output in every single role, with new clear goals and regularly communicated measures - the results to action have been game-changing.In the book '212 The Extra Degree: extraordinary results begin with one small change' by Sam Parker and Mac Anderson, you can find brilliant examples of how to incorporate the 212 degree philosophy into all aspects of your life - at work, with friends, and as a parent!Give the extra degree approach a try, and remember, 100% of the shots you don't take won't go in!<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VEhXHEMB4Gw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
