Gary Hamel from "Leading the Revolution". One to stick on the cubicle partition for 2004.
Are You a Revolutionary?All that matters is whether you care enough to start from where you are.
So ask yourself.
Do you care enough about your integrity to speak the truth and challenge the little lies that jeopardise your company’s future?
Do you care enough about the future to argue with precedent and stick a thumb in the eye of tradition?
Do you care enough about your colleagues to help them get off the treadmill of progress?
Do you care so much about the magnificent difference you can make in this world that you’re willing to try and change it with your bare heart?
Do you care enough about finding meaning and significance in the 80 per cent of your life you devote to work that you’re ready to start a movement in your company?
Do you care enough about the creative impulse that resides in every human breast that you’re ready to help everyone be a revolutionary?
Do you care enough about doing something so wonderful and unexpected for customers that you are willing to put your comfy job on your line?
Go ahead, ask yourself, Do you care enough to lead the revolution?
For the first time in history, our heritage is no longer our destiny. Our dreams are no longer fantasies, but possibilities. There isn’t a human being who has lived who wouldn’t want to be alive right now, at this moment so pregnant with promise. Among all your forebears, among the countless generations who had no hope of progress, among all those who were betrayed by promise, you are the one who now stands on the threshold of a new age – the age of revolution. You are blessed beyond belief. Don’t falter. Don’t hesitate. You were given this opportunity for a reason. Find it. Lead the revolution.
