Bend it like Bill ! The guy who acts as he couldn't fail

I have just read Winners Dream book by Bill McDermott  :  It is great  and unexpected stuff as I expected to read again one more additional advices book about career success and how to achieve it

Instead ,  Bill story is not about career but about inspirational  dreams and about  how to achieve strong achievements both as an human being and as a professional . I also aprreciated his conversational tone and the way he is able to share and build relationship with others whoever they are and wherever they come from...

 

One memorable thing  I got from this book is that I realized that Bill  is the guy who acts as he couldn't fail : that's  why, when he worked at Xerox in the  nineties,  he accepted to lead the Xerox's worst performing district, that's why morever  he accepted in 2002 to lead SAP Noth America that was  at this age under SAP average standard expectations . Each time Bill not only accepted the challenge but committed on hight purposes and share them  to the teams : for Xerox distric team, the aim was to  to become the first Xerox  districk in the world   (los  mejores) and for SAP America the goal was to be a three-billion-dollar business by 2005 (Milagro) .
Each time he was told he was crazy but he was not : he was aspirational for his team and he acted as he could not failed so he didn't (may be his guardian angel is a very efficiant one)

Here a nice video of  Bill explaining how to pursue his dream. Yep, definitely that's the guy who daily acts as he can't never screw up  !

And what's about you guys ? could you share the last time you acted and moved forward  as you could'nt fail ? Please tell and share your stories when you bend it like bill ."
