Don’t Jump the Shark!

What are you great at?  What are you known for? Why is your company successful?
Keep doing it.
When Fonzie jumped over a shark, he coined a term that we still use today: Jumping the shark. It refers to the point where a TV show goes off its designed path in order to reenergize the series.
A current TV Show that has come under fire for “jumping the shark” is American Idol. They have stopped doing the things that made the show unique and relevant.
Leaders need to understand what makes them unique and relevant and they need to stay true to their goals and priorities. There is no need to try to reinvent yourself or your company when when you are on top.
Don’t jump the shark in your leadership!
