The Boundary between Good and Great

​On the journey of transforming the organization from good to great, how do I define the boundary between good and great? Tomorrow's great will be good, the day after. Is transforming from Good to Great a continuous process?
 
Brilliant Question, Dilli Babu 💜
 
You absolutely nailed it. Our potential is limitless. The Good to Great journey is an expression of our potential. That makes Good to Great a continuous process and an endless journey of creating massive positive impact through our business as a measure of how much of our potential is realized.
 
The joy is in the journey. There is nowhere to reach, nothing to prove. Only deep gratitude, joyous fulfilment and divine blissfulness of experiencing growth and being a channel of positive impact every step forward on the Good to Great journey.
 
Realizing our highest potential enables us to play the game to have it all by dissolving the darkness of fears from our conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious mind for us to live from the light of our undeniable greatness. This journey of inner personal transformation is called Leadership Depth, which is the foundation of the Business Excellence journey of leading our business from good to great.
 
Let us define what is good and what is great to assess whether it is even worthwhile to be on this journey. A good organization makes profit but struggles to do so, is in the red ocean of bloody waters with competition nibbling at its toes, primary motive is financial survival, does not have any significant impact in the world, employees work half-heartedly and only for their salary. Employee engagement is a huge focus because disengagement is so rampant. Employees don't feel connected with their own selves or with each other or with their leaders. It's stressful to be working and everyone is waiting to hang-up their corporate boots some day to follow their heart, to come alive. There are offsites to discuss mission, strategy, future etc. and everyone uses these as a way to get a breather from the boring routine and nobody remembers anything once they are back at work. Nobody understands what love is or what's that got to do with work. Leadership is bottom-line and top-line focussed. Another word for good is mediocrity and the organization is only leading itself to a certain death sometime in the future.

A great organization is purpose-inspired; significantly and positively impacts human consciousness and evolution; passion, commitment, accountability, self-inspiration and purpose light up the employees who joyously work with their heart, mind and soul; is in the blue ocean, is a market leader running a monopoly  with its nearest competitor miles away; is in an effortless self-sustaining cycle of creativity, innovation and profitability. No employee engagement programs are needed because employees are deeply engaged and connected with their work, with each other and with their leaders. Employees live their purpose of life through their work; leave the day at work feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. There's focus on value-based leadership with leaders creating a space of compassionate love through nurturing, coaching and leading authentically by themselves doing 10 times what they tell their people to do. This results in breakthrough performance, productivity and profitability.

When the leaders in an organization reach Gear 5 of Leadership Depth journey, they lead their business to the above state at Mountain 5 (Mountain of Mastery) of the Business Excellence journey. 

Growth is ongoing. Moment we stop growing, we are dying. After climbing the first spiral of growth from Gear 1 to Gear 5 in the Leadership Depth journey, Stage 1 to Stage 5 of the Craft Mastery journey and Mountain 1 to Mountain 5 of the Business Excellence journey, it is time to start climbing the next spiral of growth, then the next, then the next in an endless joyous journey; amplifying the greatness with every spiral of growth by continuously scaling ourselves and our business from good to great in an infinite game of reaching our highest potential.

Keep learning, growing and contributing to joyously lead yourself and your business from good to great, realize your dreams and have it all with ease and grace; while having lots of fun and adventure along the way.

Loving you,
