All right, Francis. Part two of the equation, energy sources. A response to the mediocrity part of exhausted mediocrity.
aloittaa meitÀ toisessa kertauksessa, joka on yksi, jonka rakastan ja jÀrjestÀmme kuulijoillemme jo aiemmin, joka on Howard Thurman, yksi suomalaisista 20-luvun teologioista. HÀn sanoi, ettei kysy, mitÀ maailma tarvitsee, kysy, mitÀ tekee sinut elÀmÀÀn ja mennÀ tekemÀÀn sitÀ, koska maailma tarvitsee ihmisiÀ, jotka ovat tulleet elÀmÀÀn. TÀmÀ on kysymys, jota haluan kysyÀ, jos tunnen, ettÀ elÀminen on vahvaa,
But where we disagree is it... It's not for serious people doing serious things. Yeah. And here's what's always funny to me. The people who claim that passion doesn't matter have come alive doing things they're passionate about. Oh, yeah. The messengers are quite passionate. Yes. And quite alive. So the word that's also activating for me is mission. Because I think...
mitÀ se on, se on löytÀÀ arvoa elÀmÀÀsi, joka on isompi kuin sinÀ. Mutta haluan sanoa, ettÀ se ei tarvitse olla maailmanpahaa, vaikka jos se on, voimme kÀyttÀÀ sinut tÀÀllÀ. Mutta se tÀytyy olla arvo, joka on suuri sinulle. Ja se voi olla huolehtia perheesi. Se tÀytyy vain olla isompi kuin sinun ja sinun ego ja identiteetti, jotta tÀmÀ toimii.
I love that. I'll sometimes phrase it with people, what makes you weird? What makes you different? What made you weird as a kid? What did you do that the other kids weren't doing? Before I found my way to writing, one of the weird things I would do, which had nothing to do with my job or my identity, was to do these silly writing contests.
Ja yksi, jonka voin, joka on edelleen minun suurimpani julkaisujen tehtÀvÀni, oli Starbucks. Starbucks teki tÀmÀn, ettÀ heillÀ oli kohteena, jossa voit lÀhettÀÀ sanat, joita he laittavat kappaleen. Ja minÀ olin, en tiedÀ, 22, ja olin Starbucksissa New Yorkissa. Ja olin niin, ettÀ...
MinÀ voin mennÀ tuon kokemuksen. JÀljellÀ viikkoa myöhemmin sain maailmassa Starbuckin paikalla kahdeksan kappaleen ja pienellÀ yhdellÀ plenger-kappaleellisellÀ. Ja sitten noin 60 kappaletta kappalettani. TÀmÀ on se, mitÀ haluan.
He put it all over the world in the hands of millions of Starbucks customers. I know because a subset of those customers has tracked me down for the last 20 years. Because the quote starts, the irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating. There's my girl.
Ja sillÀ tavalla minulla on edelleen viestiÀ, ettÀ pÀÀtin suositella isÀni tai pÀÀtin lopettaa työtÀni. Joten se oli ihan viileÀ. Ja kyllÀ, minulle tuli huomioon, ettÀ ehkÀ tÀssÀ oli jotain hyötyÀ, joten se oli hyödyllistÀ. Mutta enemmÀn hyödyllistÀ tietoa, kuten minun kokemukseni, on se, ettÀ olin tekemÀssÀ sitÀ ensimmÀisenÀ. Haluan sitÀ. MitÀ teet, joka on viileÀ? MitÀ teet menemÀllÀ? MitÀ teet menemÀllÀ? KyllÀ, se ei oikeastaan ole.
Se on todella hyvÀ. Se on todella hyvÀ. Se on todella hyvÀ.
I think that's how I would summarize your mission in the world. But here's the thing. This top-down mission, purpose, we're going to rehabilitate the word passion. God bless you, Scott Galloway. And Reid Hoffman. Scott's been on the show. We are so rooting for these beautiful, emotional men.
Build empires on top of their passion. And influence our boys, please. Please continue to. Okay, but that's not enough. We also need to think about this problem from the bottom up, which is what are the, okay, we've dealt with the macro passion purpose, but you also have to deal with your micro needs. Oh, I like this. On a daily basis. This is where you and I really, we go on different paths. This is a fork in the road.
And we can't outrun these. And this was a hard lesson for me to learn. I started out in the not-for-profit world. The mission was deeply activating. The daily experience was so brutal for me in some of these organizations. Yeah.
Koska minulla oli tarvitse pitkÀÀ oppimista, erilaisia asioita, ristiriitaa. Minun tÀytyy olla tietty mÀÀrÀ ristiriitaa elÀmÀssÀni. Me olemme 20 vuotta myöhemmin. Jos minÀ en saa sitÀ kotona...
No, no, no. No, get it at home. Get it at home.
For 50 years. And your variety is not superior to my consistency. It's not. Here's what's really important about this conversation. We'll let the listeners decide. Here's what's really important about the conversation. It is about...
Yeah, often it's one of the places where I'll start coaching people is, okay, let's come up with a list. Like, what do you need most from work? Give me your top five. And how well are you meeting these needs? You, not this corporation that is doing this to you. How well are you meeting these needs right now? And then how might we evolve this job so that it gets closer to what you need?
And if you can't get it here, then let's plot an exit for where you can find it. I love the bottom-up and the top-down needs and the anthropologist's judgment-free perspective of ourselves. I want to get into one more sandbox on this, Frances. Yes.
I'm going to describe this one as add a zero. Yeah, I love this. And there is a point, you and I talk to a lot of companies, we work with a lot of great teams. There is a point early on in every conversation we have with leaders and teams of leaders where you say some variation on
Oh, interesting. Those goals are terrific. And what would happen if we added a zero? You also sometimes call this the magic dust question, where if you could sprinkle magic dust, what would be different tomorrow than it is today? It is a totally electric moment when you give people license to really dream.
