WorkWorthy: All The People Matter
http://workworthy.blogspot.com/2013/06/all-people-matter.html
Because work should be done excellently and work should be "ensouling". Friday, June 7, 2013. All The People Matter. My contention is that "All The People Matter" in an organization and I will argue long and hard for that position. But a picture may be "worth a thousand words." An old rock fortress of dry-stacked, unhewn stones I saw along the Incan Trail in Atacama, Chile is my metaphor for two insights into WorkWorthy workplaces:. He answered, more or less, "What sort of person would do that? Probably ...

WorkWorthy: November 2013
http://workworthy.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Because work should be done excellently and work should be "ensouling". Monday, November 25, 2013. Let's Start the "Generosity Revolution". Recently I shared 12 thoughts on generosity in a talk entitled, "Let's Start the Generosity Revolution.". The goal of that talk was to radicalize the audience towards generous lives. Don't listen to this talk unless you want to be radicalized yourself. But I wonder, who would you become if you became your most fully generous self? At work and everywhere else. Want to...

WorkWorthy: Broken Robin's Egg
http://workworthy.blogspot.com/2012/05/broken-robins-egg.html
Because work should be done excellently and work should be "ensouling". Sunday, May 6, 2012. Life is at the same moment both beautiful and tragic. A broken robin’s egg that I spotted during my run today reminded me of that truth. Meaning is found when we bring together the beauty and tragedy of life, refusing to artificially bifurcate the two and instead view them together in oneness. Because beauty and tragedy reside together in our work experience, work can be incredibly meaningful. Marc Dickmann is a ...

http://workworthy.blogspot.com/2013/10/write-your-own-obituary.html
Because work should be done excellently and work should be "ensouling". Monday, October 28, 2013. Write Your Own Obituary. 8220;Begin with the end in mind.” – Steven Covey. This exercise is the ultimate expression of that mindset. Real personal significance and achievement is unlocked when we envision a desired future and then move forward. Priorities take hold. We learn to stop giving time to what is urgent and focus on what is important. How will you be remembered? What do you really want to achieve?

Because work should be done excellently and work should be "ensouling". Friday, October 4, 2013. What Do I Want at The End of This Day? Recently life has dealt me a difficult hand to play. A simple and routine appendectomy back over Memorial Day weekend took a lot of odd twists and turns, resulting months later in a large MRSA abscess in my right lung cavity. Major surgery, IV antibiotics and lots of rest and down time. Are required to restore my health. My confession: I am not good at "Down Time.".

Imagine that you and the other members of your team are in a sailboat and you want to sail as fast as possible to a finish line downwind. The best strategy would be to set your sails to catch the wind, allowing it to simply push you straight downwind to the destination, right?
