You can honestly say that you are the best in your field. You may be better than everyone else at what you do, but being the best doesn’t mean you’re the best you can be. Your true potential is higher than where you are right now. Leadership expert and international bestselling author of The Fred Factor and You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader, Mark Sanborn invites you to get better.

By learning to employ Sanborn’s uniquely designed “Potential Matrix” to specific areas of their lives, readers can gain the tools they need to see breakthrough improvements in places they previously thought had reached their maximum potential. Every day, you have the exciting opportunity to be better."
In The Potential Principle, Mark Sanborn encourages us to explore our untapped potential. He believes that everyone has the capacity to improve and grow. So, don't settle for 'good enough', instead, strive to be the best version of yourself.
