Whether you love or hate the Patriots, hard to argue with their mantra...The Super Bowl is next week, and it is making life very difficult in our house. We live in Patriots country, our sports obsessed youngest son wears Brady and Gronk jerseys like every other day (sometimes he makes a costume change and wears both in one day), and my wife is a born and bred Eagles fan all the way. As you can imagine, I'm trying hard to mind my Ps and Qs this week, Friends of Dave....I know a lot of you hate the Patriots and even the NFL right now. Believe me, I get it. There are definitely things not to like about both of them. But one thing that has always contributed to me being a fan of the "Patriot Way" is the simple mantra that is the foundation of their culture: DO YOUR JOB.I published a previously written blog post of mine on LinkedIn earlier this week with my thoughts about this topic, so I won't get into it too much here. But it is always the simplest things that contribute the most to achieving a goal or excellence, isn't it? Far too often we allow ourselves to get distracted and derailed by things that have nothing to do with our personal success plans. If we simply just focus on knowing our role and executing (particularly as part of a team or organization), the rest should take care of itself. If you agree, please check out my article on LinkedIn and like and/or share it. Look, there's a reason the Patriots are preparing for their record 10th Super Bowl. And it's not because their pretty boy QB wears Uggs...Have a great weekend and enjoy the selections. And raise your hand if you bet that deep price cuts on Nutella would be all that was needed to turn French shoppers into People of Walmart....XOXODave
