The Five Drivers of Success

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Everyone wants to be successful but few are willing to do the work and even fewer know how. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>According to executive coach and best-selling author Mike Acker there is no single secret to success but five non-negotiable drivers: knowledge experience communication emotional intelligence and drive. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>What about talent? </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Imagine a bucket punctured with five holes. Those holes not the bucket's size determines its capacity. In the same way talent is meaningless if you are failing in one (or more) of the drivers. Your success cannot rise above your lowest hole. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>In </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The Five Drivers of Success </em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>you'll learn: </span></p><p>·      <span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Why boredom can be a greater obstacle than lack of talent or laziness. </span></p><p>·      <span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The difference between punching the clock and becoming a resident expert.</span></p><p>·      <span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>How great communication overcomes weaknesses but bad communication neutralizes strengths. </span></p><p>·      <span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Why self-focus properly understood is the key to effectively dealing with conflict and criticism. </span></p><p>·      <span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>How to develop the grit that gets you over the hump.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Are you tired of being passed up by less qualified coworkers?

Instead I've realized there are </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>five</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> core competencies which everyone must develop continually. These are the five drivers of success. None of them are revolutionary but neither are any of them optional. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Here is the most important principle of this entire book: Your biggest limitation isn't your barrel's capacity but the shortest Success Stave. </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>That</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> is what is preventing you from realizing your greatest possible success-not just in your career but also in relationships finances and personal growth. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>That's the bad news. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The good news is that unlike your total capacity each of these five drivers of success can be fixed. Maybe you started strong but have stalled out. Maybe you've tried everything and don't know why you can't get ahead. Maybe you're just starting out and you want to chart the best path forward (great for you-that's smart thinking). Whatever the case addressing these five Success Limiters will allow you to discover and attain your true potential. I promise you your barrel is bigger than you think.</span><strong style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> </strong></p>
