Leadership and Everyday Excellence

A friend in the consulting business wrote an article on "Leadership and Everyday Excellence". Here is just a excerpt from the article that I thought was most important for business leaders and HR executives.

Everyday practical leadership does not require flawless execution of management skills, but rather, an intentional pursuit of excellence. As you pursue excellence in your choices, relationships, tasks, planning and even general thought processes, leadership development will surely follow. Living your life and performing your life’s tasks with distinction and quality is a noble quest. Excellence is the state of excelling. It implies superiority and eminence, according to the dictionary. When someone or something is excellent we believe that there is a quality or feature that stands out in comparison to others.

Does your leadership translate to everyday excellence?
