About the Book
THE OPPOSITE OF EXCELLENCE IS NOT FAILURE—IT IS SOMETHING WORSE... MEDIOCRITY.
This book is more than a leadership book. The book does contain leadership, storytelling, and inspiration, but it also focuses on the mediocrity and indifference that is impacting our world. This book dives into what causes the misses that we see in our lives and around us; it also takes on current affairs that are causing the fracturing of our moral fabric.
When success is not achieved, there are times when the barrier is something more challenging to detect... the do-just-enough-to-get-by leadership. In other words, mediocrity. There is another condition just as destructive as mediocrity... indifference.Indifference is the ethical and moral ability to look away, do nothing... and be okay with it.
In The Depths Of Mediocrity: Eliminating Indifference, Joe Robert Thornton explores the elements that can be applied in our daily life to avoid mediocrity and indifference. He is taking this approach because he feels that it is time for a reality check; a time to step forward and call out mediocrity and indifference whenever and wherever we see it. It is important to hold ourselves accountable, but if we are to rid the world of mediocrity and indifference, we must also hold others accountable.
In this book, you will learn about:
• The problems created by mediocrity and indifference
• The potentially damaging statement- "I Didn't Know"
• The importance of caring more
• How comparisons can lead to mediocrity
• The relevance of paying attention to details
• The power of kindness
• The negative impact of blaming
• The benefits of overachieving
• What 'going the extra mile' really means
• The value of effervescent effort
At book's end, Joe Robert Thornton hopes that you will be inspired, but he will be more satisfied if you are compelled to act. If you want to overcome mediocrity and indifference in your life, this book is for you.
