Go the EXTRA MILE
SNAPS DAY 360

One of the characteristics that set leaders apart from the rest is the positive attitude of going the extra mile. They have extreme humility which naturally make them serve beyond what is needed, give more than what’s required and care more than what’s expected. They do this with a selfless, pleasing and pleasant point of view.
People who consistently go the extra mile get more cooperation, affection and respect from others. Customers, partners and stakeholders love working with them because their heart, mind and soul are committed to achieving more, working harder and exceeding goals naturally. They catch the attention of leadership and are recognized by getting incentives, awards and promotion.
Try it. Going the extra mile makes your soul feel better. You don’t even expect the other person to say “thank you”. You go the extra mile or malasakit naturally and it makes your heart happy.
*About the photo
Banking is a trust industry. Meet my banker, Shary. She was a former peer of my wife in the banking industry and this is one of their photos during their branch Christmas party in 2010.
Shary Kathleen Maloles is now a highly recognized and multi-awarded Branch Manager in Banco De Oro (BDO Chino Roces Extension-Lumbang Branch).
Shary’s “malasakit” brand of leadership is felt in every member of her Team including the security guards and housekeeping staff. Each customer feels they are family, they are the most important customer in the world, and there is genuine care (malasakit) from everyone in Shary’s branch.
