Last night I attended a pro hockey game where the final score was 9-1. (We won) When they interviewed the coach the question was asked, “Did you see any weaknesses that you’ll be working on tomorrow?” The coach told the interviewer, “Of course. We will enjoy the win tonight and immediately start working on our weak spots tomorrow.”
I had the thought – what if our business or job was like last night’s game? Each day is a new game and you are the coach. Do you review the day (game) looking at your strengths and weak spots? Do you create a plan for tomorrow to make those weak spots disappear from your game?
What would happen if the team just shows up each game, plays and goes home to wait on the next game. No review. No game tapes. No practice. No celebration. It wouldn’t be much of a team would it?
So what’s your game plan, coach?
