Keep Raising the Bar
Step 7 is the last step in the career plan. It is simply to keep raising the bar. I say ‘simply’ but continuous improvement is not as easy as it appears. If you constantly strive to improve yourself and hold yourself and others to high standards, ask the correct questions, and find the root causes of issues, you will be a continuous improvement success. The difficulty is in sustainment. This is an issue that all companies and all people have to face at some point. The other 6 steps we have gone over will help you to stay on track and motivated. This step is mostly about keeping yourself focused on your end goal – remember the ideal you we discussed in Step 1 – Finding your passion. This should be your focus and rereading your initial life-plan might help when you get lost. Keeping your journal will help you stay on track as well. As I state every blog – and I truly believe in – A leaders learning never ends.
