I regularly encounter people who linger in a bad situation. They come home from work without the energy to do something positive with the rest of their day. Sometimes it’s the other way around. Their home environment saps them of the energy they need to contribute positively in their business. Some allow such realities to define their existence.
How often do we find ourselves in the position where people are trying to communicate with us and we’ve heard little or nothing of what they’ve said? When we are supposed to be engaged and working together with our team to resolve important issues, it’s disturbing to see how disengaged we can be:
A friend of mine who ministers to very poor communities in Mexico recently wrote, “Passion without organization produces frivolous fluff but organization without passion leads to lifeless and purposeless tedium.”
Imagine living every day in “the zone,” doing what you love with endless energy.
I find it very interesting that Gino and I both felt compelled by our recent experiences working with leadership teams, to write about clarity. If you missed it, see Gino’s recent post. We’re both recommending the same solution, coming at it from a little bit different angles.
