    #277: Excellence Is in the Details | Jay’s Weekly Five

    What does excellence really look like? In this week’s Jay’s Weekly Five, Jay Young shares why excellence isn’t about being perfect.

This week’s five: Word of the Week: ExcellenceBible Verse: Daniel 6:3Book: The Excellence Dividend by Tom PetersTV Show: Chef’s TablePodcast: The EntreLeadership Podcast Daniel stood out because of his exceptional qualities and the way he carried himself. That same principle applies today. Excellence is often found in the small things: how you treat people, how you serve others, how well you execute, and whether you’re willing to go beyond “good enough.” This week, ask yourself one question: Whatever I’m doing, how can I do it just a little bit better? That’s excellence. Subscribe to The Jay Young Show to never miss an episode.
