Harvard’s cultural 3 P’s

Seth Godin blog post screenshot
Seth’s blog yesterday. Pre-ordered his newest book, like i always do. Hope to read it before moving it to the bookshelf. Commonweal.

Play while you can. Don’t blink or your playing days are over.

Harvard Business Review posted this organizational culture article in 2015. Someone sent it to me yesterday (mid-2023). Apologies if the link asks you to subscribe in order to read. i get a couple free articles per month without a subscription.

3 P’s…

Play, purpose, potential.

Shouldn’t surprise anyone. It didn’t me.

If work is fun…

If work feels like you where born to do it…

If work makes you believe you have more to contribute if you stay…

It ain’t rocket surgery.

Why equals how

Disney’s Adventureland
Adventure awaits those who seek it.

Why we show up for work is how well we do our work.

Why employees show up for work is how well they do their work.

Fear of silence?

Mountains
The wild is a quiet place, escpecially when off grid because you’re so far out.

How you feel when you are alone with no distractions tells you your peace and contentment levels.

Everything changes

The empty lot between our home and the one in the distance is filled now.

Everything don’t change much because change is always happening.

dad

Change happens imperceptibly.

Seems like we notice change easily.

But we don’t.

Change happens one moment at a time.

No one is counting seconds or even minutes. Probably not hours or days either. But maybe (probably not), weeks, months, years, decades.

The longer we wait to notice, the bigger the change.

And so it goes.

Trust no one at work

Four years apart.

Trust no one at work. Humans are genetically consumed with self-preservation.

dad

Survival, since the dawn of humans, has insisted on figuring out your next meal, your future mate, and avoiding death.

We are hard-wired to put ourselves first.

The next promotion, the raise, the career opportunity for exposure, etc. Rare is the person who will sacrifice themselves so others can eat.
