Several years ago a I ran a series of workshop for executives in a recently re-organized FORTUNE 500 company. The good news was: they all still had jobs. The bad news was: most of them didn't like their new positions.
My role was helping the executives deal with the organizational changes and re-engage with their work. I'll never forget the blank stares when I asked them "What do you really want to do?" Some folks responded, "I'm a father with a lot of responsibilities, I can't think about what I want to do." Some said, "I knew once, but I forgot."
Too many executives are trapped by their obligations and their paychecks. Their goal is money, and their lives are unfulfilling. Purpose and passion are a faint memory, a luxury of the young.
Want to awaken your zest for life and lead from the heart? Ask yourself, "What would you do if you knew you could not fail?"
