Purpose: If you don't stand
for something, you will fall for anything.
Many people would argue that the best CEO (maybe not the best person) of the
20th century was Jack Welch, the former chairman of General Electric. When asked
for his thoughts on leadership, he echoed the same sentiment. Leadership starts
with vision. Jack said, "With leadership the question at the beginning and at
the end of the day is, 'How far can we take this. . . how big can we grow it. .
. and how fast can we get there'?"
With the vision in place, LEADERSHIP IS EXHIBITED IN A RELATIVE LACK OF FEAR.
Leaders aren't terribly afraid of change, the competition, or the difficulties
that lie ahead. They've got so much passion that they don't have much time for
fear. As August Busch, head of Anheuser Busch said, "We do not know the meaning
of the phrase 'It can't be done'. "
And it is this relative lack of fear, this abundance of passion, this all-out
belief in the vision that turns on everyone else. Michael Eisner, head of
Disney, commented on that. As the top dog at Disney, he said 18 presidents
report to him, and inevitably the person with the strongest point of view
carries the day. In other words, the strongest point of view influences where
everyone else will go in the company.
Nothing in life is more motivating than
purpose. Without a clear purpose, you'll feel somewhat
aimless and unfulfilled no matter what you do. And with
a clear, grand purpose, you'll be able to accomplish almost
anything.
This MP3 will help you clarify your purpose
once and for all. And once you have done your
clarifying, you will live your live on purpose instead of by
accident.
This is a working MP3. In other words, you'll be taken
through a whole series of hands-on exercise. But it will
be fun, and it will be worth it.
