When I started writing these daily messages I was working on the opening of the Resort at Pelican Hill, whose Palladian style of architecture emphasized grandeur – one of the values these messages address. Those original missives were used in pre-shift meetings during the property’s pre-opening to give new employees a sense of the company’s values. Now, ten years later, I’m still writing and sending these to people and companies that use them to instill employees with a sense of what their employer stands for. Interestingly, grandeurhas often been used interchangeably with excellence: both describe Pelican Hill and its dedication to those values. These two values can be adopted by other people and companies that aim for the stars in all they do: thinking and talking about excellence is a good way to prepare to do your best work, keeping it in mind as you work helps you to remain focused, and reviewing everything you do against those standards helps to achieve that goal. In that way, life will lead you through the narrow valley of grandeur and excellence today, and every day.
