Be Wary of Shortcuts

The pressure to perform has never been higher, and the demands on your time and energy continue to increase. We’re all trying to do more with less and do it all faster.

In this rush, it is easy to look for the shortcuts, to check things off the list and make those we serve happy — at least for the moment. 

Marketing guru Seth Godin wrote a great blog post recently that highlights the importance of not sacrificing standards and knowing when to “push back” to stand up for quality and what is right.

So as the pressures increase and the voices of frustration get louder, don’t take the shortcuts, as tempting as they may be. Choose the high road instead. It will take you further in the end.
