Are you looking over your shoulder?  Maybe you should be. Tiger Woods and Texas Tech basketball are recent proof that the competition is better than you think and should never be discounted. What are the threats to your business or career that you’re not seeing or taking seriously? Matt Johnson and I discuss what you should be doing to stay on top.     Takeaways + Tactics Even when you’re at the top, keep looking over your shoulder. It only takes one misstep. Have contrarians on your team who will question ideas and norms. Be the leader who allows respectful criticism. Create an environment where anyone who sees something wrong feels comfortable to speak up. Pay attention to the competition... no matter how insignificant it may seem.
