"The race is not  always to the swift,  nor the battle to  the strong ...     but that's the     way to bet."     — Damon Runyon

Sometimes the Slow and Weak DO Get Lucky

The author of the Old Testament wisdom book Ecclesiastes famously observed that "the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong."  While he was seeking to make a larger point that what goes on in Heaven is more of a "sure thing" than what goes on on earth, the take-away for most people is that "life isn't fair" and "sometimes the slow win the race and the weak win the battle."  

... But Don't Bet on It.

Nearly three thousand years later Damon Runyon (famous for writing of gamblers, hustlers, actors, and gangsters) wryly responded that while it may be true that the slow and the weak sometimes DO get lucky, the odds-on favorites are still the swift and the strong.

The "Smart Money" In Business Is on the High-Performance Executive

"High performance executive" doesn't mean "wound up tighter than a drum", or "bouncing off the walls with energy and ideas".  Rather it suggests an executive who is finely-tuned, highly-disciplined, "souped-up" for high performance, primed to go from good to great, and capable of producing outstanding results.

High Performance Begins With Mastery of Self

Plato said that "the first and best victory is to conquer self."  We think that's the best place to begin for every executive who wants to be seen as a "high performer". 

While most executives have all the technical knowledge and practical experience necessary to do their job correctly, many fall short of the level of self-awareness and self-mastery that would enable them to effectively and powerfully lead others.

The Goals of Executive Performance Coaching the Way We Do It.

5. To develop or strengthen within you the disciplines of effectiveness and execution that will ensure that your Big Ideas and Initiatives make it into the annals of business history.
