Some thoughts to start your week . . . Ending with a great little video clip.
I'm reading Seth Godin's new book "Tribes - We need YOU to lead us"
As usual, it's good stuff . . . a few quotes:
"People admire the new and stylish"
"Partisans want to make a difference . . . want something to happen (and something else NOT to happen)" They're passionate people.
"Leaders make a ruckus"
"They use passion and ideas to lead people . . . "
" . . . Inciting a movement."
"motivate, connect, and leverage."
"Defending Mediocrity is exhausting."
"The Only thing holding you back is your own fear>"
"What people are afraid of isn't failure. It's blame. Criticism."
"Do something worth remarking on!"
I thought of a great bumper sticker I see occasional about town:
"Well Behaved Women Seldom make history"
We're not in a business environment for the faint of heart.
This is PRIME TIME for innovation and differentiation . . .
Time to align yourself with other successful people and LEAD your way out of this morass.
Here's the video (Cut and paste into your address book if necessary)

PS: I posted another blog @ "Tribes" on my other blogsite www.creatingspaces.blogspot.com - Check it out . . . Turns out Seth Godin's thoughts are aligning quite well with the principles of Open Space Technology . . . Emergent leadership potential is within every single person on the planet . . . All you've gotta do is claim yours :-)
