Be a Novel, Not a Newspaper...

I travel full-time speaking to companies and organizations all over the US and around the world. Before I speak to an audience, I always remind myself of an important rule: "Be a novel, not a newspaper." Newspapers are usually thrown away the next day. Novels may be reread and cherished for years.

Do you have passion?

Many of us make a definite distinction between home and work. We would die to protect our family. We feel this passion without even questioning its depth. But the other part of our lives, the working part, can be something else altogether. We want to do well because it means promotion and a raise, and this makes life better for our family, but many of us are not really passionate about it or about the colleagues with whom we spend so much of our days.

We should be.

True leadership lies in guiding others to success. In ensuring that everyone is performing at their best, doing the work they are pledged to do and doing it well.

We talk about passion all the time, but few of us apply it to our job. Shouldn’t we, though?
