We all have competition: sometimes it’s not so apparent who or what it might be. The best way to look at this is to first assess who the customer is: companies can scan the market or conduct focus groups to better understand where the competition is coming from; individuals may have rivals but most often compete only with themselves. While my clients do a great job identifying where the competition comes from and how to deal with it, most people don’t: they think it’s another employee. But look at this from a supervisor’s perspective: they rarely pit one person’s output against another’s and almost always try to encourage and motivate each individual to be the best. Each individual’s challenge is to be better than they were the day before: it’s about continuous learning, self-improvement, and a commitment to be the best you can be for the people you work with and serve. Focus on being your best today.
