Key Ideas
This concept is very nicely captured by renowned author Dan Pink in the 4 minute video below.
Here is my bullet point summary of the core idea:
- Advice given to President Kennedy early in his career: "A great man is a sentence. Anyone who's ever achieved something in their lives isn't trying to do 97 different things, but rather trying to do 1 or big transcendent things."
Examples:
- Abe Lincoln - Preserved the union & Freed the slaves.
- FDR - Lifted us out of the great depression and helped us win a world war.
So, what is the sentence for your organization? What is your unchanging core?
Are you consistently reminding the world about your core mission?
