Hole #2
Continue the Learning Process
Par 3 • 156 Yards
Learning is a never-ending process. A champion golfer will not stay on top very long if he/she stops learning how to improve their level of performance. A business must also constantly strive to improve the quality of its goods or services. Reaching your goals must be thought of as a continuous journey that never ends. The moment a business, an organization, or an individual believes that nothing more can be done to improve performance is the day they open the door and let the competition come in to defeat them.
Continuing the learning process is not as easy as it sounds. When you are first learning how to play golf, it’s always easier to learn the proper technique when the club pro is standing there ready to correct your mistakes than it is when you are out on the course competing with other players. Being able to drive a ball 300 yards on the practice tee will ultimately not help you if you forget everything you learned when you go out and play the game for real. Similarly, teaching everyone in your organization the latest management techniques will not show up on the bottom line unless every individual takes what was learned back to the factory floor or the customer service department and puts it into practice. Make it a habit to master the right way of doing things, and then do things the right way each time you take the metaphorical swing.
