Motivation
This blog is about stories and the right stories can be really motivating. The story about Napoleon Hill’s son from his book, Think and Grow Rich, for example, has always amazed me. What else motivates people?
According to Simon Sinek, a well-worded why statement, for example – which is of course based on stories. Autonomy, mastery and purpose, if you ask Dan Pink – which requires a clear manifesto of values to operate under. Other self help books promote motivational beliefs or setting challenges or commitments for oneself.
So, here goes.
My 'Why' statement
To connect to everyone's inner child,
so that together we can make the world a happier, more passionate, friendly and fulfilled place.
My personal manifesto
Distributed teams over colocation
Flow efficiency over resource efficiency
Satisfied customers over satisfied assumptions
Leading through purpose over managing by objectives
Inclusivity over exclusivity
… that is, while there is value in the item on the right, I value the item on the left more.
Challenges I'm excited about
Building up and leading remote teams
Driving a culture of openness, inclusivity, positivity and productivity1
Improving the lives of the customer, one experience at a time
