HOW TO DELIVER PHENOMENAL LIKE A HALL OF FAMER BY LANCE FOSTER
Our first core value at AZCOMP is the promise that “We deliver phenomenal.” The reason that this comes first is because it informs everything we do. When we strive to create a phenomenal experience for our customers and for each other, everything else falls into place. I recently watched a talk by Bo Eason, a former All-Pro NFL safety, that provides a perfect example of what “phenomenal” looks like. Bo’s talk, called “How to Be the Best at Whatever You’re Doing,” is jam- packed with wisdom, but I want to highlight one portion in particular. It features the greatest receiver to ever play in the NFL: the legendary Jerry Rice. Bo played against Jerry for four seasons, but when he was traded to the 49ers, they became teammates.
After being tormented by Rice for years, he was excited to learn from him. The lessons began on the very first day of training camp. Bo was always determined to be the first person on the field, but when he arrived to practice that day, Rice was already standing there. No one doubted his role on the team. In fact, nobody cared if he was a few minutes late. But Rice pursued the phenomenal. As Bo watched Rice participate in the first wide receiver drill, he grew even more impressed. While the other players with secure roster spots did the drills at half-speed, Rice gave every ounce of effort and energy he had. He did the same for every rep, every day. When Bo asked Rice why he sprinted to the end zone after every reception, the answer spoke volumes. “Bo, that’s very simple,” Rice told him. “Every time these hands touch the ball, this body ends up in the end zone.” Talent without effort is wasted. Jerry Rice knew this and made sure to perform at the highest possible level all the time. That’s why he’s regarded as one of the greatest players to ever wear an NFL uniform. When you channel your energy into improving yourself and the contribution you make to others, you’ll deliver phenomenal.
