This year's baseball World Series brought us exciting plays, skillful management, and a couple of lessons on the importance of timing.
The true champions, the leaders, on both teams demonstrated great timing by elevating their performance to match the importance of the game. From the regular season, through the playoffs, and the 6 games of The Series, the best players stepped up their level of play. The best pitchers threw more strikes. The power hitters came through in the clutch. Just what we expect from these superstars. The timing of performance.
The second lesson about timing didn't come to us from the level of play; it came from the uniforms of the Philadelphia Phillies. In honor of their long-time broadcaster, Harry Kalas, who passed away last April, every member of the team wore a patch bearing his initials on their chest. This man was obviously loved, admired, and respected, and we were moved by this tribute. The idea was fantastic, but the timing could have been even better. Imagine if someone had suggested honoring that remarkable man by wearing the patch last season as he announced every game. The timing of appreciation.
Is there a decision you need to make or some action you need to take in order to move your life and business forward, but you're waiting for just the right time? Is there someone on your team you appreciate, but you haven't found the time to let them know? This might be perfect timing.
Keep Leading Forward!
