How many times have you gone to a restaurant, a store, or any business and received even less than the bare minimum in service? The waiter who doesn't bother to smile and say hello, the cashier who doesn't thank you for your business after ringing you up. A lack of basic courtesy and manners all the way to shipping you the wrong product through carelessness, failing to follow up with you on a matter, a slow pace, a decided lack of enthusiasm, inexcusable error, the list goes on.
As an employee or owner, are you giving maximum effort all the time or just for some of the day and coasting the rest of the day? Are you constantly trying to improve your skills, taking a class, reading some articles, keeping up with the latest technology in your job, or has your enthusiasm waned a bit? It can happen. Sometimes you need to kick yourself in the rear and remind yourself you can never learn everything you need to learn about your job, there is always more to learn (if not, consider moving on to a new challenge). Do you give maximum effort to every project and customer or just your favorites?
Be better, learn more, try harder. Even if your job is dull, try to make it interesting somehow. Do it a new way, try to be more efficient, show more passion, creativity, be more engaging with your customers, something, anything. As a manager, are you setting, enforcing, and modeling high standards for your employees? Talk the talk AND walk the walk. A lack of passion and commitment shows and whether or not anyone says anything, we notice when you phone it in.
