A game changer in the making

People who follow my normal input and contributions on social media know that I've been on a work that's worthwhile emphasis.  I have been studying the great Novel by Studs Terkel "Working" and through it a glimpse into how people viewed their work in the mid 70's.

I have also been turned on to a couple of very bright and transformative people in the world of "how work get's done" .  We featured one of them in the Chi Networks webinar last month entitled Work and Passion, and it featured the work of my friend Ray Burchett. 

Ray founded a company called Archimedes Partners and with it he will transform the work world.  Just as Seth Godin, the other brilliant whiz that's been capturing my imagination and inspiring me to take on a new attitude about the work that I do. 

I'll have more on these two smart chappies later on.  Certainly Seth is familiar to most of you.  Ray I guarantee is still a mystery.  But his message of 2-5-1 will, if given the light of day.. transform organizations from being cultural wastelands to places where people are actually engaged in what they do. For more on Ray's work visit his web site www.trust1st.com 

For Studs Terkel, were he alive today, I think he might be suspicious, but he'd want to learn more about it. 

Sorry for the long delay, but I promise to be back with more bits of smaller volume , higher impact stuff I've been learning from the front lines.
