We&#8217;re not committed to your success… We&#8217;re passionate about it.



Years ago I challenged a board member of one of the world&#8217;s largest companies to give me one word to describe what his team should be. I suggested &#8220;passionate&#8221;.  He countered with &#8220;committed&#8221;.

There are at least two dominant world views we could subscribe to.  One is that described by the myth of Sisyphus1 and the other is the story of Jacob as he wrestles with God.  Both stories are of potentially futile activities – but the outcome is significantly different.

Dig through the archives of literature, philosophy and art and you will find hundreds of phrases for it. Plato called it the good life, and Aristotle referred to human flourishing. The Bible talks about it as being blessed, and the Declaration of Independence refers to the pursuit of happiness.
