The power of extra efforts in an organization provides a meaningful opportunity to make a positive difference and accomplish great things.

Just what does that mean? Let’s unpack this idea a bit and see what we can learn.

In any organization – examples here – the collective effort of many is what allows bigger results. The work of many brings with it economies of scale in labor and creativity and potential.

Coaches and managers and consultants and teachers all know this basic concept.

What also exists in any group is a sliding scale of who does what, and how much do they do it.

Here is where the power of extra comes into play.

Do more, see positive results, good.

Everyone doing more, great; some people dragging, slacking, leaving more to do for fewer people, not so good.

Do a little more. Bonus time. GOOD.
