Stan Slap provides a great illustration regarding the importance of being emotionally committed to your work. How do you get there? It is more than just basic management techniques, tracking performance milestones and accountability. It is bringing your values to your work place. How do you discover your values? Well, the values exercise in the book is one of the best I have seen. The kicker is going back into your story to see how your values were generated. This is where it became real for me. My story has great moments of values being unleashed and also hardship, which pushed me to have values.
My top three are accomplishment, compassion and passion. I will share how I arrived at these and how some key life moments helped build and shape these.
Emotional commitment is critical for true work passion and for your cause to take life.
