Does Passion Fuel Your Engine?

Education follows passion, the Chinese say.  As a leader, does passion fuel your engine?

Have you signed onto leadership development training for the right reasons - because you have a passion for learning and leading?  Or, because you're trying to impress the boss?  Or you feel you have to pursue development to avoid conflict with your team or superior? 

How do you get stoked for development to please yourself, for your own good, not someone else's?  What do you want, and why do you want it?

I often coach managers that feel victimized by circumstances, personalities, other people's "outrageous" or destructrive or irritating behavior - the boss does this. . . my co-worker does that. . . blah blah blah. . .

Am I willing to put away the blame thrower and look at myself?   Analyze my growth needs independently of everyone else's personality and behavior?

I can change my attitude and change my commitment and find passion for myself. 

I can create reasons for getting up and getting to my work with passion and zest.
This is my choice, my declaration.  This is what I want, and I'm willing to work for it each day.

Have a great one,

Frank
