Being busy lets you do this one thing to literal perfection

interesting signs in Philadelphia — Random sign caught my eye.

Being busy lets you do this one thing to literal perfection.

Hide from your mission and purpose in life.

First, you refuse to be clear, concise, and compelling about your purpose.

Second, (insidiously) without clarity, you hide from your real work – the risky stuff that may not work – the stuff that makes others uncomfortable – but if it worked, it would triumphantly change everything.

Because you aren’t clear, you and everyone else, can’t tell what success looks like.

Hiding.

Safe.

Can’t be a failure, right?

Can’t see the bullseye, so missing it goes unnoticed.

Safe.

We like safe.

Safety adds insult to injury.

Without clarity, you lose all sense of urgency.

Without urgency, distraction trumps focus.

Without focus and urgency, being busy comforts you.

And exhausts you.

And everyone around you.

Epidemic of disconnection

Disney Keynote Speakers — If an idea doesn’t get implemented, the idea doesn’t exist in the real world.

Epidemic of disconnection.

The disconnection from organizational vibrancy stems from a lack of clarity with your leadership vision.

Light a torch of awareness.

Be crystal clear.

If you’re not, please don’t come running to me.

i cannot do the exercises for you.

Will they lean in and beg for more?

convention center room layout — Critical meeting coming up.

Will they lean in and beg for more?

This is by far, one of the most catalytic moments in your organization’s history.

Will the audience remember it forever as ‘the day everything changed for the better’?

The final sentence is an example of vision

If you watch this video, listen carefully to the final sentence – it’s a brilliant example of vision.

What you can’t appreciate about Disney if you never worked on the inside, is that she doesn’t even know she did what she did.

She just did it.

Why?

Because it’s the Disney culture to think like that, without even thinking about it.

Up it

Disney's The Mail Pilot — Yesterday we sat next to the movie poster for **this** 1933 Walt Disney 7-minute cartoon short.

Up the enthusiasm factor.

It’s contagious.

Imagine progress, especially changing old organizational habits, without abundant and constant enthusiasm.

Now imagine same scenario, but with overflowing enthusiasm.

Motivation is what keeps everything alive and well, when the temptations from the daily grind kick in.
