"If that’s your only measure, staying ahead of your rival, whilst you’re fighting with each other, there are others who could be going past you, so I’ve always made a conscious effort to make the measure about how good we can be." The philosophy Ange Postecoglou brings to his football managing/ coaching. Same goes in business > focussing solely on your competitors distracts from the opportunity to stretch your own organisation to its limits in deeply delivering to your customers. Believe in your own vision and do the hard work to bring it fully to life. "I never believe your motivation should revolve around the demise of somebody else. Your motivation should be about yourself. I want to win because I want us to achieve something. I want us to progress. I want us to be in a position fighting for the title. That’s what drives me..." "If that’s your kind of measure, always peering over the back fence to see what your neighbour’s building, you could both have the worst houses in the street because everyone else is building beautiful places and you’re looking over the back fence.” "We can win on Sunday but it doesn’t mean we are title contenders this year. To be title contenders you’ve got to do it over the course of the whole year. That’s how I’m measuring ourselves. So we know we’ve still got some work to do... At the same time, we’re in a better position than we were 12 months ago to build on that. That has to be our aim, that in 12 months’ time we’re in a position where we are one of the contenders rather than trying to disrupt them." For the record Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 on the day, leading to this from Ange: “It’s about now over the course of time getting from where we are to where we want to get to. To do that we need to be absolutely laser focused on the details, the small things that get you from where we are to become a team that contends.” #leadership #strategytoexecution #innovation #thinkingoutsidethebox #digitalbusiness #digitaltransformation #datatransformation #aifirst #aitransformation #businesstransformation #enterprisetransformation #CCO #CMO #CDO #CDAO #buildingthefuture #daretolead #thinkingdifferently https://lnkd.in/gRgr2WPm
