Chief Executive Officer
This will not be the easiest site you have ever read. It is not about an easy subject.
Nowhere here will you find any statement to the effect that creative thinking — the active use of imagination — is an easy task.
Nor will you find any secret formulas or magic phrases that can produce million-dollar ideas for you.
In fact, if the writer occasionally makes a categorical statement that appears to be the answer, it was not intended that way. By its nature, creativity is infinite — there is always a better way and always a worse way.
Therefore, there are no real answers.
There are preferred ways, and apparently better ways. But not answers.
This was planned to do several things:
To help you develop an increased sensitivity to problems, needs, and opportunities in business.
To build your knowledge of problem-solving procedures, and the aids to thinking more creatively.
By removing some of the "mystery" that has always clouded the subject of creativity, to help you to gain self-confidence in applying principles and using techniques that have helped others.
To explain some of the background that is necessary to create the kind of "climate" that will encourage more creative kinds of thinking on the part of associates and subordinates.
Perfection vs. Excellence (Business, Career, Life Coaching Series)
Ruth Zanes
(Howard) Hughes never learned how to convert his knowledge to practical application. Instead he sought a perfection that assured failure.
- From Empire: The Life, Legend and Madness of Howard Hughes
by Donald L. Bartlett & James B. Steel
How many times have you heard someone (it may have been you) proclaim or complain that he/she is a perfectionist? You may have noticed that going for perfection is a fool's game. You simply cannot win when you set perfection as your standard.
There may be rare and unusual situations where perfection is assumed to be an appropriate standard. Frankly, I can't think of one - no, not even life and death situations such as heart surgery demand perfection in the process. Each stitch does not have to be sewn perfectly in order to affect the outcome. Perfection is present in the ultimate result, as evident in the patient's survival or death, not in the process.
When perfection is the goal it is usually out of an exaggerated desire to be right, to avoid criticism or risk. The focus is on how am I doing? rather than on producing a specific outcome. Excellence, on the other hand, is a way of life. It is the context in which high achievers and peak performers produce and contribute to the quality of life. High achievers and peak performers get things done by taking action looking for appropriate outcomes and measuring their success based on the quantity and quality of their results.
The bad news is that being a human being means we have the abilities and the failings of human beings. We make mistakes. We get tired. We get distracted. We fail to communicate clearly and accurately. When we set perfection as our goal, all of our actions are based on attempts to conquer our natural human limits with little or no intention on the ultimate outcome. The search for perfection limits our ability to act meaningfully.
Acting in accordance with standards of excellence allows us to produce superb results and opens the door to experimentation and creativity.

Many executives have inherited or stumbled into their walnut-paneled offices.
Some hold their jobs because they have developed one specialization, but their hold is precarious because of their unwillingness to broaden their horizons of understanding.
Someone has said that "experience is the great teacher, but education is the short cut to avoid the wasteful process of trial and error learning."
You too could probably learn to become a senior executive by experience, but it is our hope that you may shorten your development time through some of the principles outlined here.
Experience is excellent—but it is also the name everyone gives to his mistakes.
DT.
Executive Officer is the prized position desired by many in business.
