Marcel Proust, who famously said, "The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but in seeing with new eyes.
1. Do you see opportunities the competition doesn't see?
2. Do you have new ideas about where to look for new ideas?
3. Are you the most of anything?

4. If your company went out of business tomorrow, who would miss you and why?
5. Have you figured out how your organization's history can help to shape its future?
6. Can your customers live without you?
7. Do you treat different customers differently?
Not all customers are created equal.
8. Are you getting the best contributions from the most people?
9. Are you consistent in your commitment to change?
In fact, the problem with many organizations is that all they do is change.
10. Are you learning as fast as the world is changing?
As Albert Einstein famously said, "Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them."
