We All Want The Big 3
Stumbled upon an RSA Animate video featuring Dan Pink. Have you heard of this guy? Have you seen his stuff on You Tube?
It blew my mind yesterday. The three things I wrote down from the ten minute video? The three things we all want, and the three things most organizational leadership structure neglects:
- Autonomy – shedding status quo
- Mastery – our urge to get better
- Purpose – deep desire to make a difference
Posted three times here at jungle jeff yesterday. This may not be today’s final post either. I hope you feel energized today. It’s your responsibility.
Hate To Do This To Ya
Hey, life is crazy. You barely have time to read one jungle jeff blog post per day and here’s today’s third. Are you kidding me? Nope.
Just watched this animated video (10 minutes) (thank you Seth Godin) and it totally blew my mind. Go-givers are going to thoroughly be inspired by this. I have never seen a You Tube video done quite like this.
Does Perfection Matter?
Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know what Lance Armstrong has done for bicycling, what he has done for Cancer patients, or what he has done for the pursuit of excellence, in anything, not just bicycling?
Walt Disney said, “Aim for perfection, settle for excellence”.
Two nights ago, leaving the Mall, this picture of Lance Armstrong was in a storefront window, Sunglass Hut, I think. Anyway, it captured a thought in my grey matter and I wondered if chasing perfection matters at all. Or does it only matter to the game-changers? Whaddaya think?
Professionally Clueless?
You hear it on the streets everyday. And in the workplace hallways and break rooms. You hear it in the daily commute. It’s everywhere. It’s pessimistic. It’s pathetic.
But it brings people joy, I think, to wallow in their misery.
Leaders are struggling, everywhere you look. And this has the ripple effect on the people they lead, and it becomes this vicious cycle. So everyone tries to work harder, but people are so confused, they don’t even know where they are heading anymore.
I recently overheard an apparent leader talk about Twitter, Blogs, You Tube and other social media tools, like they understood it.
Has it gotten so bad in the struggle to survive, that many smart, dedicated people are now becoming professionally clueless?
