Safe Assumptions You Can Make
Most people realize that making assumptions is bad and can get you into some serious trouble. As the saying goes: “When you ASSUME, you make an ASS of U and ME.” Nevertheless, as humans we all tend to make them. So here are some “safe” ones … things you can feel okay in assuming:
- The e-mails you send will be seen by more people than those they’re addressed to.
- Things said “just between you and me” won’t stay that way.
- The time you pick to take a long break or lunch will be the same time your boss looks for you.
- The “minor” rule you choose to ignore will be the pet peeve of the manager that catches you.
- Call in sick so you can do something else and you will be seen by someone who knows you should be working.
- Treat one customer poorly and ten people will hear about it – including someone who has authority over you.
- Your ability to get “another job” will be directly related to how well you do on the job you have now.
- Whenever you think “no one will know,” someone will.
- Whenever you think “no one will care,” someone will.
- Whenever you think “it will never be missed,” it will.
- Whenever you think you’re as good as you need to be, you aren’t.

A Little More Effort … A Lot More Results
Think you have to make huge changes and expend a ton of extra energy to achieve bigger and better results? Think again! And consider this …
At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam. And with steam, you can power a train. Applying just one extra degree of temperature to water means the difference between something that is simply very hot and something that generates enough force to power a large machine. The message of this simple yet powerful metaphor should be clear to all:
Seemingly small things can make tremendous differences. The key learning is equally powerful: The application of additional heat (effort) to whatever task or activity you undertake will not only help you achieve the primary objective you seek, but also reap exponential rewards that are possible by applying one extra degree of effort.
Imagine the possibilities …
- Add just a few hours each month to your professional development outside of the work and you will have invested the equivalent of a full work
- Make just one extra contact each day …a sales call … a customer … a brief discussion with a col- league … an encouraging talk with a member of your team. With contact comes opportunity. At the end of the year you’ll have opened more than 200 additional doors of possibility.
- Eliminate one half hour of television watching each day and you’ll gain 182.5 hours each year to use elsewhere (equivalent to four and a half weeks of work).
Imagine YOUR possibilities. Where can you give a little more effort? What small changes can you make that will add up over time? As a leader, what can you do – what will you do – to enjoy the rewards that come from “turning up the heat” one extra degree? Find those opportunities … and seize them!

Turning Up the Heat
At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam. And with steam, you can power a train. Applying just one extra degree of temperature to water means the difference between something that is simply very hot and something that generates enough force to power a large machine. The message of this simple yet powerful metaphor should be clear to all:
Seemingly small things can make tremendous differences. The key learning is equally powerful: The application of additional heat (effort) to whatever task or activity you undertake will not only help you achieve the primary objective you seek, but also reap exponential rewards that are possible by applying one extra degree of effort.
Do the math and imagine the possibilities …
- Make just one extra sales call per day and you’ll gain over 200 revenue-generating possibilities each year. What might that mean for you?
- Eliminate just one half hour of television watching each day and you’ll gain 182.5 hours each year to devote to your family and friends, your hobbies, or your self development. How might that benefit you … and others?
- Help just one additional coworker each week and, within a year, over 45 more people will have benefited from your knowledge and kindness. What might that mean to them? What would that say about you?
The possibilities are endless! So, let the number 212 serve as your constant reminder. Let it be your new way of thinking – your new way of acting. Write it down and leave it wherever it might serve you best – wherever you might need a prompt to extra action. Where can you give a little more effort? What small changes can you make that will add up over time? What can you do – what will you do – to enjoy the rewards that come from “turning up the heat” one extra degree? Find those opportunities and seize them!
