A Small Change Can Make a BIG Difference

All the talk about the economic climate at present, both in the UK and around the world, is of doom and gloom. It even appears to be heading towards some degree of that dreaded ‘R’ word, recession. My immediate response is challenge!

People’s actions are often paralysed because of fear. They never start something because the task seems impossible, too distant, out of reach or too expensive. Actually, in order to achieve our goals we need to reverse this because:

Here at Leadership Management UK we help people to focus on what we call the Slight Edge. You may also know this as the competitive edge. Even a 1% difference can be massive in terms of pay back and results. Tiger Woods, the Number One golfer in the world has a Slight Edge over Justin Rose, a less known but very capable British golfer.

The Slight Edge statistics are:nn *
Tiger Woods was 1st on the United States of America golf tour in 2007, while Justin Rose was 19thn * Tiger Woods' average number of shots per round was 67.69, while the average of Justin Rose' round was 69.30 - just under 2 shots per roundn * They both played in a total of 16 tou
aments and completed 63 rounds

The difference in prize money was:nn *
Justin earned a mere $2.7 million, Tiger earned $10.8 million!
* A difference of $8.1 million dollars. If you were Justin Rose, would you be looking to see how you could improve your round by 1.6 shots!

Can you think of a 1% difference you can make that would bring you significant results?

Remember - Success is a journey, not a destination.
