Excellence is a critical requirement for organizations which are growing and improving.  Without a commitment to excellence and the processes in place to build it, we will become irrelevant, boring, and uninteresting to our customers and those we serve, ultimately being passed up and replaced by our harder-working competitors.  Excellence is also an critical component and characteristic of engaged, committed, cohesive teams which are the secret to the success and growth of our organization.  Only excellent leaders with a plan and a commitment to make it happen succeed.
