Good Vs Great

The events of the last few days have really reminded me something. I knew this before, but I never really put together in this sort of thought process.

If you want to be good at something- just get it done. Be reliable. Don't make people ask twice.

If you want to be great at something, do all of the above. but let the person you're serving know what's going on. Tell them the next step, and the one after that. Know WHY things are done the way they are, so that when something unexpected occurs, you can work around it. Or if you just don't like it, you have a better chance of fixing it. Keep promises. Don't assume an email is communication. Call and follow up.

Put yourself in the shoes of the other person and anticpate their needs and their questions- answer them and explain before they have a chance to ask.

That's how to be great and not just good.
