William Wilberforce

his first anti-slavery motion in the House ofCommons in 1788, in a three-and-a-halfhour oration that concluded: "Sir, when we

III-Efficiency in itself does not

constitute excellence


25/51


26/51

Excellence is related to outcome

The issue, Hummel said, is not somuch a shortage of time as a problem

ofpriorities.

Or, as a cotton mill manager once toldhim, "Your greatest danger is letting

the urgent things crowd out the

important."

Gullivers travel

Jonathan Swift


28/51

In Gulliver's Travels, he records his hero'scapture by the Lilliputians. Fascinated byGulliver's clothing, the Lilliputians note:

Out of his pocket hung a great silver chain;which appeared to be a globe, half silver, andhalf of some transparent metal we think that it

is the god that he worships; He called it hisoracle, and said it pointed the time for everyaction of his life.

leader in the industry as measured byglobal sales volume.


35/51

Excellence is about maximizingpotential

Park University will be a renownedinternational leader in providing innovative

educational opportunities for learners

within the global society.


36/51

Competing with oneself rather withthe others

Games were meant to celebrate humanachievement rather than overcome fellowplayers

Business should learn from competitors to pushtheir own boundaries

Collaboration and networking is a sign ofexcellence rather than just overcomingcompetition .


37/51

Prayer and competition

Luke 18:10-14: "Two menwent up into the temple to

pray; the one a Pharisee, andthe other a publican. ThePharisee stood and prayed

thus with himself, God, I thankthee, that I am not as othermen are, extortionists, unjust,adulterers, or even as this

publican.

And the publican, standing afar

off, would not lift up so muchas his eyes unto heaven, butsmote upon his breast, saying,God be merciful to me asinner.

38/51

Two people went to pray..

One was trying to compete with himself..overcoming his sins..

The other was in competition.. I am glad Iam not like this man

Excellence is stretching your ownboundaries


39/51

Competing against yourself

We should not judge people by theirpeak of excellence; but by the distance

they have traveled from the point where

they started.Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887) USclergyman, abolitionist


40/51

V-Excellence has to do with

relationshipsI will show you a more excellent

waySt PaulI Cor:12.31


41/51

Working with emotional intelligence

EQ is more important than IQ

EQ is related to empathy

Empathy is related to listening withunderstanding

42/51

Listening and Emotional quotient..

It has been proven that EQ is more importantthan IQ because life is basically composed of

relationships with other people. In other wordssomeone who knows how to relate to others isbetter equipped for life than someone who isonly a math wiz.


43/51

Listening and Emotional quotient

On page eighteen of his book, Daniel Goldman makesthis statement: Genetic inheritance gives us a series ofemotional qualities that determine our temperament. But

the implied brain circuit is extremely malleable;temperament is not destiny

Listening with understanding can influence the brain

circuit


44/51

Excellence is aural rather thanoral

Aural means listening and listeningmeans learning

Oral- people who talk more than listentend to be mediocre

20/80 ratio or the 80/20 ratio?
