That’s our goal. That’s what I heard our goal was – “Just Above the Bare Minimum.” If there was a place not to set the bar, that was it, because it’s so low, you can step right over it. Be better than the Bare Minimum… or just above it.

We forget to ask this question of ourselves, but when we do, when we do ask it, it almost always causes us to pause as we think of what it does the team needs from us – what can we contribute, how can we lead, what can we offer. And if you are leading the team, make sure your team is asking this not only of themselves but of each other. That’s how the team grows.

The level is a starting point, from there on in, it’s up to you what you want to do with it.

But when you start again, you have to learn from everything you did before to grow. Chances are you are going to make a whole new set of mistakes, but you will have learned from the ones you made before and now will be on a path to learn new lessons and finish stronger than before once more.
