Break the Planning Mediocrity Cycle

🔨 Break the Planning Mediocrity Cycle

Ever feel like you are underachieving even with all your planning?

We often fall into the trap of underestimating, especially in the professional world.

A popular concept suggests we tend to:
↗ Overestimate what we can achieve in a year.
↘ Underestimate what we can do – our potential – in 5 years.

While this might be true for solo ventures, it becomes a challenge in larger organizations.

Think about how you plan for the year, set budgets, or handle performance evaluations. These questions are often lurking:

❓ How open should I be about my (or our) goals?

❓ Should I/we play it safe?

❓ What if things change and I/we can’t hit our targets?

These questions usually make us play it too safe. “Stretch goals” even end up too low. We end up doing less than we could.

The ripple effect? Over years, this means we achieve far less than we could.

Instead of planning for excellence, we’re inadvertently paving the path for mediocrity. It’s a vicious cycle, and the only way out is to rethink our planning, processes, and company culture.
