Excellence has a Formula and No, It’s Not “Work Harder.”(7)

“Excellence” has been through a lot.
It’s been framed in gold, stuck on office walls, and repeated so often it’s lost all meaning.
If Excellence had feelings, it would probably be standing with folded hands and begging for a break 🙏.

So I tried something different.
Instead of treating it like a mystery, I treated it like a problem worth solving and out came this formula:

👉 Excellence = (Ri + Pe) / CS

Here’s what that means:
🔹 Ri = Results Increase
🔹 Pe = Potential Enhancement
🔹 C = Consistently
🔹 S = Sustainably

You’re getting close to Excellence when you’re delivering better outcomes and unlocking more potential. However, the real test is whether you can do it consistently and sustainably.

Anyone can shine for a month. I am sure we have all seen many flashes in a pan. The real magic is doing it again and again and…. Without losing your team, your sanity or your soul.

This is where Excellence Intelligence™ kicks in.
It’s the ability to design systems that don’t just work, but keep working. It’s less about heroics and more about habits.

🎬 Exhibit A: Moneyball.

Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) chases stats instead of stars. He builds a smarter system.
He increases results using stats everyone else ignores.
He enhances potential by betting on overlooked players.
And he makes it all work consistently and sustainably.

He doesn’t just win games. He changes the game.
That’s the formula in action. That’s (Ri + Pe) / CS.

This formula quietly powers how we at Asbiverse Group build teams, design capability programs, and help leaders think clearly.

It’s not flashy. But it works.

When something’s off, we just ask:
✅ Are results improving?
✅ Is potential being unlocked?
✅ Are we doing this without gasping every quarter?

If the answer is no, the formula shows exactly where to look.

Excellence = (Ri + Pe) / CS
Simple🕯️Sharp🔪 Surprisingly useful🪜
And unlike most buzzwords, this one holds up under pressure.
