The Importance of High Standards and Setting the Bar for Excellence
Outliers or highly successful people tend to have higher standards in various aspects of their lives./nMany successful individuals expect the same high standards from others, which can lead to frustration./nHaving high standards can be a primary pain point in companies when others do not meet those standards./nIt is important to consider whether others can meet a bar that is 80% of your expectation./nHolding a high bar is important, but it's also vital not to lower your standards./nHaving expectations is necessary for personal and professional growth./nTranslating high standards effectively is crucial, whether as a parent or a CEO./nUsing fear and intimidation to enforce standards is not recommended.
