An ESPN analyst and former Super Bowl winning quarterback Trent Dilfer was evaluating several current quarterbacks. He rated each on how they performed after making an error – he called it P.A.C.E. scores (Plays After Critical Errors). In other words “How does the QB perform on the very next play...”
It is those plays, those P.A.C.E. opportunities, Dilfer says, that separate the elite quarterbacks (Leaders) from all the rest. He’s right to include leaders. Leaders in every walk of life… business, military, schools, politics, and in the home have P.A.C.E. opportunities.
Leaders like you.
ACTIONS FOR YOU
Here’s a question: What is YOUR typical first response to a critical error that is of your own doing?
Is it to crawl into a cave and hide or maybe run from the critics, avoid embarrassment, prevent humiliation? Is it to deny responsibility or maybe point fingers at someone else? Another example is to blame unfair conditions.
Or are you a true leader – a premier performer of elite status that does the following?
(1) Stay in the moment, head held high, resisting discouragement
(2) Accept responsibility for the outcome, blaming no other
(3) Forget it, jump back in the fray, laser focused on next actions
(4) Learn from mistakes, minimizing the chance of repeating it
(5) Claim NEXT and move on to your next appointment, getting back into the game
The decision is done in an instant, in mere seconds. Not days, weeks, or months.
In sports, then next play is only seconds away and a leader has to pull it together and get back in the game. As a leader, your team is watching to see how you handle the setback and put yourself back in the game.
We often hear that your group does exactly what you do? If you are showing the plan, they show the plan, if you are signing up prospects, they start signing up prospects. It is amazing how they know – but they do. So if you have had a bad experience or day, how do you get back in the game? Leaders pick themselves up and get on with it. Learn to shake it off and pull yourself together. Immediately.
Your Business, your team, your family, your success… all depend on it.
