We had our Power of Giving team meeting on Monday.

I spent some time collecting feedback from all team members, made sure the food was ordered and that the photocopies of the summary of last meeting as well the agenda were copied.  I  mostly delegated all the work but had to make sure it was done.

I also read up on the notes from previous meetings as well as wrote on the white board different options of the Mission statement.

The outcome of this extra work led to a pretty efficient meeting!

Each time I have gone the extra mile - whether it is with a customer, colleague or family member - I have found that I ended up gaining more than I gave.

With a customer, it generally leads to complete customer satisfaction and usually more business.

With a colleague, better camaraderie and synergy.

With a family member, a better relationship.

How about you? Have you gone the extra mile today?
