Measure yourself as a manager Go for gold

| Going for gold; what does it mean and what is your ‘gold’?
You can never achieve anything lasting that is not in your nature. You cannot achieve anything that you have not a natural inclination for, with of course the appropriate mental and physical attributes.
A gold medal is nothing without self worth – think of the Olympic athletes, or Tour de France cyclists who cheated, who took performance enhancing drugs, to achieve gold. Gold at any cost is not worth it. Such an attitude demeans the perpetrators and will not allow them to grow as human beings to reach their full natural potential – high, low or indifferent.

Harnessing the Miracle of Determination
| |
| Lance Armstrong has defied his many obstacles to become one of the most influential men of our time. He used his losses to spur him on and he worked harder to outperform his competitors. After overcoming a long bout with cancer, he retrained and came back to win the Tour de France to become the second American in history to dominate this grueling 2,274 mile long international race. What makes him so special? Is he different than any one of us?

You Gotta Make a Comeback
| |
| No matter how bad the pain is, if you're willing to make an effort -- and at times it may require a fierce effort -- you can come back bigger, better and stronger. Lance Armstrong overcame incredible odds to become a seven-time Tour de France (the most prestigious race in cycling) champion. |

Creating a Culture of High Performance
| |
|
Heroes in sport may be compared to leaders in organizations. How the members behave and perform is often a result of the example set by leadership. For instance, if a company’s set of published standards are that it values responsibility and accountability, but management often does not abide by these stated principles, employees will, as a consequence, feel it is alright to do the same, thus fostering a culture of deception contrary to the stated value.
What kind of culture exists in your organization? Does it contribute to the personal goals that you, as a leader, have or envision for yourself and your company? Do changes need to happen in your culture, values, beliefs and norms in order to stay competitive and achieve high performance in today’s radically changing business environment? |

Creating a High Performance Organization
| |
| Organizations, just like the teams in the Tour de France, are made up of individuals who perform activities on their own as well as part of a larger whole that we often refer to as a team. Do we realize our own potential to become elite performers? Whether we are the president or the front line staff member, do we understand our own strengths? What do we need to improve in order to deliver the maximum to our organization? |

Coco Chanel Bio
| |
| The Coco Chanel bio is a story that begins far removed from the opulence that her name would later come to represent. Born in Saumur, France, in 1883, Gabrielle Bonheur ‘Coco’ Chanel was the illegitimate daughter of a shop girl – who would die soon after – and a traveling salesman – who would abandon his daughter on the streets of France. It was her two aunts, with whom she was sent to live, who would teach the young girl the etiquette that would come to shape the Coco Chanel bio. |

Getting the Most Out of Group Travel

| Group tour travel is a great way to save money and broaden your access to exotic destinations. These excursions have a lot more to offer than just a ride on a bus.
Tour companies often have the leverage and connections to negotiate significant discounts with hotels and other vendors. They can help you cut your vacation expenses. If you're a first time traveler, a group tour can help you to get around in unfamiliar territory. Some destinations are difficult to visit at all without an experienced guide, and group tour travel solves that dilemma.
