What results is a melody when different notes harmoniously blend. And what evolves is an organisation that scores high on productivity, employee satisfaction, and profitability when its various elements integrate.
My son is a startup internet entrepreneur. The following is an email letter that I sent to him: Coby: This is my suggestion for a conversation with each new employee. The following is you talking:
“I have found my passion. One of the things that is important to me is to help everyone in the organization ‘find their passion’.
It is not an easy thing to ask and not an easy thing to achieve. But you have joined our journey and there are multitudes of challenges ahead of us. If you are looking for something to be passionate about within the context of our mission, I guarantee you will be able to find it, eventually.
If you ever want to ‘dialogue about your personal journey’, it is one of my favorite subjects, so don’t hesitate to invite me into your considerations.
The synergy of ‘interlocking passions’ is a rare condition. The potential results are huge, impossible to predict and most often ‘wow the world’.”
