A Lesson on Success from Bruce Jenner
Bruce Jenner seemed to have it all. He was the 1976 Olympic decathlon champion who seemed too All-American to be true. He was the man on the Wheaties box and on the cover of Sports Illustrated. But in 1980, by his own account, you would never have recognized him. I was living in the hills outside of Los Angeles, in a one- bedroom bungalow-where the dirty dishes filled the kitchen sink and a dried-out Christmas tree from the holidays four months ago sat in a clump beside the door-serving as the only attempt at interior decoration. I'd lost between fifteen and twenty pounds and years of physical inactivity had left me looking thin. I probably needed a haircut, but living alone with nobody to talk to, I would have been the last to know.
Lesson #4: “Only close attention to the fine details of any operation makes the operation first class.”
Marriott was a firm believer in the principle of management by walking around. He was as hands on as he could get, inspecting everything from the number of times a hamburger was flipped, to the haircut of his waiters. Even as the company grew, Marriott maintained his belief that if he was going to run his company, he had to know about what was going on in the restaurants, in the hotels, and on the ground. Marriott knew that the financial books in his office were in fact going to tell him less about his business than the cooks and waiters in his restaurant were, or the guests in his motels.

How Much Does The Customer Experience Matter?
After watching Jeffrey Pine’s video on authenticity and the power of the experience, I decided to conduct my own personal experiment. My lab was the realm of beauty salons. For the last five years, I’ve gotten my hair cut at a local salon known for its fantastic client experience. Total cost of a haircut there is typically $60. Yesterday, I took my appearance in my hands and headed to the local discount haircut chain where I paid $5.99 (with a coupon) for a trim.

Yearning For Integrity
Remember Blogojevitch? Do you wonder if he ever got a haircut? How about Eliot Spitzer? And then there is Governor Mark Sanford. Go really far back to then President of the United States William Clinton and his shenanigans in the oval office with intern Monica. And now Tiger - that clean-cut guy who we have all watched grow up with a golf club always near at hand. This is an important time to compare and contrast the rich and famous and ask ourselves if they are really so different from the rest of us. I think not! I think that the self serving, the narcissistic, the "because they can" crowd is getting slammed fast and hard right now because we are no longer willing to look the other way. And, since this is a human dilemma, we all have parts of them in us!
ARE YOU RIDING THE SELF-CONFIDENCE ROLLERCOASTER?
Lack of self-confidence - it's one of the biggest obstacles keeping people from performing at their best. I often hear people say they lack confidence as if it's something that's out of their control, like the cost of oil or their neighbor's haircut. In fact, your level of self-confidence is one thing that is completely under your control - and the biggest mistake you can make is leaving it up to chance.
