I am rereading a phenomenal book, Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek, which dives into what it means to be a great leader*. One particular section of the book conveys a powerful message on what makes people not only work together, but perform at a high level individually as well.
In other words, what causes some people to work with a sense of obligation, and some to work with a sense of pride? The underlying answer to this question obviously varies situation to situation; but, it starts to make you think about your own life, doesn't it? What areas do you work with a sense of not only wanting to do the work, but with a high level of enthusiasm? What areas do you feel you have to do something, and why? What could make that feeling of obligation transform into wanting to do the work? Sinek uses a corporate setting as the example, relating individual output to overall feelings of value by upper management. Yet, work life aside, a very easy and likely related example between us all, is the pride we have in the way we carry ourselves. This goes well beyond just literally walking with good posture. If we dive a bit deeper, we can start to take apart our daily lives and see the areas we work at and those we let go, that ultimately affect our self-image and the way others perceive us. *I have no stake in the mentioning of this book.
