And the more passionate you are, the more passionate the people around you will become.
What gets talked about is what gets thought about.
And I think we grossly underestimate the power of words.
Now, as it pertains to an internal shared language, this is something I learned from my longtime boss, Danny Meyer, who, when I graduated from school...
a lot of my friends went to work with big hotel chains or consulting groups, and they always said that I worked for a cult.
Because Danny was really good with these isms.
The one and true, the swan, charitable assumption, all these little phrases that he came up with and we learned and would say over and over and over again.
So they thought I worked for a cult.
I've come to believe that if you call another company a cult, it probably means that
You just don't work in an environment that has a well-established culture.
Isms, this internal language, I think is a powerful thing to do to decide what matters to you.
Articulate these ideas in short, succinct ways and make them a part of the fabric of your organization.
Because when you have this language that only you and your colleagues speak, it brings a closeness.
And as a leader, every time you create one, it's you saying very clearly to the people on your team, this matters to me.
And so by definition, it needs to matter to you as well.
Unreasonable Hospitality means that everyone who has achieved anything of significance, whether you're looking at engineers or designers or athletes or directors, they are all unreasonable in pursuit of bringing the most fully realized version of their product to life.
Unreasonable hospitality is bringing that same level of relentlessness, but simply focusing it in pursuit of other people.
That one's from Danny Meyer.
This idea that
gosh, it doesn't matter where you are within a hierarchy, you can affect change through constant gentle pressure, through deciding this matters enough for me to push the issue.
