Show, don’t tell

Four hikers at a foggy trailhead
To have the privilege and the opportunity to lead our son and his two best friends he met in ninth grade on a 13-mile hike… What is that worth? Note: In this photo they are all college graduates. Nine years after meeting they continue to meet frequently, including our annual GNP trip.
Two hikers in the mountains
In 50 years of visits, getting to share the most amazing animal encounter that i’ve ever had, with my wife, on a trail deep in the middle of the wild. Note: The Grizzly is between our heads.

Show, don’t tell.

We judge ourselves on our intentions, others judge us on our behaviors.

An amateur goal is to say “my goal is to get more sleep”. A CEO-level vision is to say, “my goal is to get eight hours of sleep every night”. Ps. On average, i get eight, not seven. But sometimes less than eight happens.

When you ask the CEO what’s your goal, and why is it important, remember what you might hear (unfortunately) is an incremental goal and not the end goal.
