Escape From Excellence

Here’s a simple fact: Most people don’t have a clue about what their Dynamic Essence is. For all the development programs, competency modeling, 360 feedback, action planning, performance reviews, and more, they remain in the dark about the real deal, their real core, their best asset. This is because, as we have said elsewhere, business leaders have not known about the difference between excellence and mastery, and have never had a path made just for them to escape excellence and reach mastery. The tools they have had only create and measure excellence, and so ultimately serve the Excellence Trap.

To escape from excellence, it is crucial to discover, release, express, and sustain your Dynamic Essence. Consider:

Dynamic essence is the ultimate driver of performance. It is the ultimate driver of innovation, of alignment, of productivity. And to not leverage and apply it is exactly what makes sustainable peak performance, innovation, alignment, and productivity so difficult.

Dynamic Essence is the ultimate source of competitive advantage. It is the ultimate differentiator. Experience, skills, benefits, etc. are old news. Instead, the masterful application of Dynamic Essence is where it’s at.

Dynamic Essence is the ultimate test of strategy. Any decision or action that goes against or fails to leverage the dynamic essence of a leader (or team, business, or brand) is a lost opportunity. It perpetuates the excellence trap and reduces results to an increment, not an explosion.

 Leaders who leverage Dynamic Essence at all times are in Mastery. They define peak performance for the rest of us.
