Who doesn’t want to perform admirably at work and enjoy an exciting career? We all want to move ahead and be rewarded for our accomplishments. We all want to develop our talents and skills and be respected. We’d also like to find meaning in our work. But today’s fast-paced, highly competitive world of work is challenging. It isn’t easy to make oneself into a superior performer. In truth, most people do not come anywhere near reaching their full potential when it comes to workplace effectiveness. Despite their best intentions and worthy efforts to improve themselves, many people fall short of being the superior performers they would like to be. They fall behind others who actually outperform them. They do not move ahead. They end up earning less money than they feel they are worth.
