I believe that success is not only achieving a team’s targets and goals but also exceeding them. It is not, in my opinion, acceptable to simply set out to meet your targets; you should constantly be striving to beat them. For example, in a previous management role I was set the target of achieving 50 new clients for my company within the first quarter of the year. I started out by briefing the team on what was required and the strategy that we would use to beat this target. Everyone in the team knew what they needed to do and we all set about working together to not only achieve the target, but beat it easily. At the end of the quarter we have achieved no fewer than 64 new clients for the company, something which we were all very proud of.
