Nearly a decade since its original publication, this timeless story continues to help its readers find fulfillment and greater success in business, in their personal lives and in their communities.
Excellent podcast Bob and thank you Jim for the sound advice. In my world, I deal with a few good performers who keep themselves sheltered from greatness due the strive for perfection. I plan to share this. Also very helpful to me! I think I am a closet perfectionist at times :). Love the take on authenticity.
Have a great week!

Gary, thank you for your thoughtful feedback and kind words. Hey, Jim’s advice was very helpful to me, too. While I usually have a bias toward action, there are times when I don’t, and it’s something I need to constantly be reminded of! I’m hoping that your team members are accepting of Jim’s message. As you know, top performers act. Without action…nuttin’ happens. 🙂 Always appreciating you, Gary!
