Passion at work - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Passion at work - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog I just got an email from Brett Farmiloe, the founder of Pursue the Passion, who are up to something tremendously cool. This Summer, Brett and two recent college grads are doing a 14,000 mile, 3 month journey around the US to interview 200 people about the passion that propels them in their profession. I really look forward to seeing what comes out of this! You can see their travel schedule, read the blog and if you know anyone whos passionate about work (or if you yourself are) you should definitely tell Brett about it. I value passion very highly at work myself. Heres how it works for me: I could never work on something Im not passionate about. If a task or a project leaves me cold, no amount of money, coercion or feeling of duty can make me work on it. Whats more, I dont work well with people who are not passionate. If a person is not enthusiastic and passionate about a project, I find it hard to trust them, because I dont know what makes them tick. In my experience, passionate people get more work done. Waaaaaay more. Its not even close. Passionate people are much more fun to work with. Compared to people who treat work as just a job, passionate people are a blast! What about you? Are you passionate about your work? Are the people you work with? Does passion matter to you? Write a comment, Id really like to know :o) Thanks for visiting my blog.
