Wow! This is definitely solid gold. I got in on the ground floor of a brand new start-up business – it went supernova, and life was so exciting! I used to tell everyone it was “The Dream Job I Never Knew I Wanted”. Then one day, despite making more money than ever, I noticed I didn’t want to go to work anymore. It wasn’t fun. I wasn’t performing. I knew something changed but I could never work out what happened.

Now I know. Your 9 tips describe it PERFECTLY. After a while, we (a business doing ALL 9) lost track of each of those points. All of a sudden, life was unbearable, without being able to pinpoint why. Now I know. I’ve left that business, but still care a lot about my old boss. I’m sending him this article today!

The suggestions on good leadership are very good tips. I will most definitely use them.

Once you are capable of making a project have a real purpose and fun the team will most definitely work hard toward getting the job done.

It really is all about instilling passion. I’m reminded of a quote from Success Built to Last by Jerry Porras, Stewart Emery, and Mark Thompson:

“You have gifts to share that belong to others. It is your responsibility to share your talents with the world because it would be a darker place without you. There is no greater feeling in life or freedom in the world than to know that you can be yourself and part of a group that is engaged in a cause that is greater than you are.”

very good article, its true when people are on their path or mission in life it gives them a sense of purpose and joy when they feel they are progressing to that ultimate goal. It is even more fulfilling when you are a part of a team with people who are looking to reach the same target. It creates synergy.

Great post and comments. As a coach I deal with many who have lost their passion for their work. Often it’s because they’ve been working at the wrong thing. Sometimes it’s because a superior drove it out of them. All the time it can be recovered. Working through the reasons why we work at what we do will often reveal those original passions we had when we started. Discovering our purpose can reinvigorate passion that is latent within us.

Life without passion is like…

Greg & John Wesley:

I have not read “On War.” I will agree with you both…

Great leadership qualities translate to all types of situations, whether it is military or not. I will clarify my comment by saying that the “commanding” leader can soothe fears by giving clear direction in a crisis or in an emergency; however, if the commanding style is used improperly or too frequently, it can be perceived as negative by the team (or military unit).

Above all, I will repeat that a truly great leader will know when to apply a certain style, given the situation…

Thanks for the post. I definitely agree with the idea about the importance of vision. I think I would adjust the comment about breaking a rule for the team. Instead the team leader should setting the example in breaking down barriers. The team should be able to follow the leader. Perhaps not in actual work tasks, but in spirit and attitude.
