Escape From Excellence

Welcome to Escape from Excellence. This blog provides thought leadership for leaders, tightly focused on escaping the Excellence Trap and building Leadership Mastery. Unlike sages, athletes, warriors and performers, leaders have never had a practical, pragmatic, and replicable path to mastery created specifically for them. This blog is where mastery happens for leaders and organizations.

Escaping the Excellence Trap is a breakthrough idea that drives a decisive shift for anyone seeking an end to marginal change and the beginning of exponential success and rewards. There’s a difference between Jimi Hendrix, Michel Jordon, George Patton, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Albert Einstein, Maria Callas, Warren Buffet, and the runner up. A difference not in degree, but in kind. It’s high time leaders got access to this difference.

We’ll share our thoughts, some frameworks and tools, and a series of crucial insights and distinctions that will help you understand the move from excellence, with all its hidden costs, to mastery, with its exponential rewards. And we’ll try to make it all relevant to today’s headlines and challenges. This site will be rich with content about the what and the why of escaping the Excellence Trap and achieving leadership mastery. If you want to know more about the how, check out our company website: www.archosadvisors.com.

Big think, big game, big change, big fun, and enormous outcomes. Nothing less interests us.

The escape from excellence is our defining passion. We’re endlessly fascinated by what continually challenges excellent people, and what defines masters, across all fields. Here, our focus is specifically on leaders and organizations, and turning them into masters. We also have a love of music (we compose, produce, and perform), comedy (it’s an art), politics (We’re card carrying centrists), spirituality (We’re pluralists), film (classic and indy), design (any kind), and land (mine and ours), so I may refer to these sometimes, when relevant.

This blog is not: a news archive, a commentary on everything, a rehash of what’s already everwhere else, a content driver for my SEO. Rather, it provides all meat and no filler: substantive thought leadership and value-added public material based on the work of our company, Archo sAdvisors. We share everything here, except the tools we use with our clients, and the names of our clients.

Thanks for coming.
