Now is the time to set high goals – and achieve them! The Japanese phrase “kicking out the ladder” examplifies what is required in these times – climbing to the top and hanging on even after the ladder has been pulled away. The closest equivalent phrases in American culture are “Sink or Swim” and – courtesty of NASA - “ Failure is Not an Option!”
In other words, set high goals and achieve them because there is no choice! It is succeeding when our very survival requires success. Our livelihoods depend on it – even our families depend upon it.
The video below created by Honda Motor’s illustrates this concept and exemplifies the spirit of the Steelwedge sales and operations planning software team.
