Expect the Best of Change
Contributed by Stephanie Staples at Your Life Unlimited
When dining out, a friend of mine does something a little unusual. When the waiter comes over to introduce himself, Brian asks, “Are you the very best waiter in this restaurant?” As you would guess, the serving staff almost always answers, “Yes, of course!”
Brian is a clever man, what he is doing here is setting the bar high. He is planting the seed in the personal’s head that they are the very best at what they do. He is subtly challenging them to show him that they are the very best.
You can imagine that Brian manages to stellar service nearly every time he eats out.
Hmmmm. How can we apply this idea to our own lives? Where in your world can you set the bar high, plant the seeds for success and expect the best? Who can you encourage, challenge and invite exceptional performance from?
