How do I achieve "individual excellence." Our Horizontal Maslow was born out of a challenge to describe personal mastery. We think it's a good start to give you an inventory of all the life areas that need to be managed and kept in balance.

Not easy nor a quick magic pill, but we think the elements of this include: a clear, compelling career/life direction, a plan to execute it, measures to track your progress and make adjustments, a definition of success, and your use of a variety of strategies for time/stress management. It also greatly helps to have a coach or close colleague to give you trusted feedback and help you see things in your "blind spots."
