OffensiveExcellence

Pursuing excellence is tricky business.

Many folks find the pursuit of excellence offensive. Here's why...

• It requires deep thinking about an ambiguous future.
• It produces as many questions as it does answers.
• It challenges assumptions, encroaches on dogma.
• It requires extra investments of effort and time.
• It exposes mediocrity and averageness.
• It means shaking up the status quo.
• It requires continuous LEARNING.
• It is extremely uncomfortable.
• It is risky.

And yet, some folks pursue excellence anyway -- zealously.
