The other day I was contemplating about what makes greatness or what would get people to peak performance. Most people would probably argue the carrot and the stick. I, on the other hand, would argue passion and inspiration.
I need to be passionate, in general and in specific, to have the right energy in place. That energy needs to be inspired with a challenge important enough to satisfy the passion. It's like nitro and glycerin. Individually they are harmless but together explosive.
In a corporate world people are mostly passionate about money and titles. Not everyone but there is a strong correlation between corporate citizens and the importance of bragable rewards. I look for emotional passion, things that really MATTERS, that changes people's lives.
