Passion and Purpose
Jeremy Kinglsey
Passion – Passion drives us. Passion is important because it intensifies focus, enables innovation and creativity, motivates us to pursue excellence, energizes colleagues, helps us deal with fear, and keeps us contributing even when we’re not at our best. Purpose – Your ability to establish a clear purpose for yourself and others each day will make the difference between colleagues who are hanging on until the weekend and employees who can’t wait for Monday morning. If you can discover and communicate the greater meaning behind the work of your team, you’ll be on the path to enhanced production.
