We pick up today's blog where my last blog ended. At the end of See, Solve, Scale, Danny Warshay introduced the concept of “ikigai” (pronounced ee-kee-guy). “Ikigai” is a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living. – WikipediaEffective leaders know their purpose and lead with intention and for that purpose. Take a moment to dive into
Tim Tamashiro’s Ted Talk “How to Ikigai," then dig a little deeper to ponder the questions and learn more if you so desire.
- Do what you love
- Do what you’re good at
- Do what the world needs
- Do what you can be rewarded for
