ADe-Manding excellence: The Spartan path to success (in interim management)
In the sacred pages of history, the Spartans of ancient Greece are known for their unyielding dedication to excellence, resolute commitment to self-discipline, and their refusal to accept mediocrity. In November, as we stand on the brink of another year’s end, ADM invokes the Spartan spirit with our unique neologism, ADe-Manding. It embodies the ADM-way of demanding, which translates to setting our sights as high as Olympus itself for missions that require exceptional skill and effort. Missions that demand expertise that only ADM can provide.
As November unfurls, it is the perfect moment to contemplate the power and significance of being demanding. We assert that being demanding is not just necessary; it’s not uncool, it’s undeniably cool! At ADM, we understand the importance of setting the bar high, not only for ourselves but also for our projects and our clients. The Greek philosophers themselves would concur that in the pursuit of excellence, demanding more of oneself and one’s projects is a virtue, not a vice.
Plato, that venerable wiseman, once said, “Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.” In other words, by being demanding of ourselves and our endeavors, we cultivate excellence. Demanding more isn’t an imposition; it’s a path to greatness. You should never feel uncomfortable by being demanding or setting the bar high. For yourself or for your project.
In the world of ADM, the prevailing trend of mediocrity is as unwelcome as a Trojan horse at the gates of Troy. We refuse to embrace the ordinary, and our clients are no different. We encourage you to embody the spirit of an Athenian strategist, ready to seize every opportunity to excel. Mediocrity is an adversary we must never succumb to.
November brings with it a sense of urgency, for there are only two months left in the year. It’s now or never to give it your all, to be as demanding as you need to be, and to close the year or your projects on the strongest possible note. We, at ADM, are here to support you in this endeavor. We have the experience, the expertise, and the dedication to help you reach your goals and exceed your expectations, in a manner that will leave even Caesar himself envious of your achievements…
So, as the year draws to a close, don’t settle for mediocrity. Embrace ADe-Manding as the ADM-way, and together, we can ensure that your projects and your year will be nothing short of exceptional. Let’s make these remaining two months count, and let’s aim as high as possible for the excellence that your endeavors deserve.
Seize the day like an emperor, demand the impossible like a philosopher, and let ADe-Manding be your standard as you chart your course to a triumphant year-end. ADM is here to empower your journey towards excellence, where the demanding path is the path to Victory.
In the words of an ancient proverb, “Fortune favors the bold.” And in the world of interim management, demanding excellence is the boldest path to success. Contact us today, and let’s write history in the books of 2023!
