Love Your Work---Or Leave
Season 3, Episode 1, Dec 15, 2022, 02:12 PM
After combat duty in Vietnam, I was CEO in aerospace for 15 years.
As the “boss”, I sawthat if I didn't have Fire & Vision in me,
our Team could never Thrive.
So the market kept changing under our feet…
the competitors innovated & we didn't.
They adapted & we didn't.
We lost some best Players who wanted a more satisfying career.
And I wanted a more satisfying career!
So I had to leave…
And very cool, I sold the company to the Employees
--A true Win for us all.
THEY became the Owners---not me!
They became the Tribe getting better...
They found their balance & figured things out.
Not me!
Why did it work? Because I made it okay for me to leave.
Because I made it okay for them to leave.
I made it okay for these Good People to see me hurting--
to see me not knowing all the answers.
They knew I cared & respected them as the good People they are.
They saw me caring about their need for inspiring work.
It was amazing & deeply satisfying.
So now---Let me Ask You: asthe years pass quickly---
What is your soul asking of you?
What are you longing to do with your years ahead?
Where are you struggling? How burned out are you?
How's your Life Vitality & Sense of Purpose now?
And --- When do you plan to Leave?
This is what LeadersOnFire.net is about...
A Tribe of Leaders who either Learn to Love Our Work---
Or We Leave.
