Khan Academy How leaders kill meaning at work - McKinsey Quarterly - Governance - Leadership As a senior executive, you may think you know what Job Number 1 is: developing a killer strategy. In fact, this is only Job 1a. You have a second, equally important task. Call it Job 1b: enabling the ongoing engagement and everyday progress of the people in the trenches of your organization who strive to execute that strategy. A multiyear research project whose results we described in our recent book, The Progress Principle, found that of all the events that can deeply engage people in their jobs, the single most important is making progress in meaningful work.

But the truth is… Giving you a list of ideas is pointless. That’s because earning money is not about finding some encyclopedia of ideas. It’s about finding ONE PROFITABLE IDEA THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU. In fact, it’s about doing far LESS than you thought. No TwitterNo FacebookNo blogNo business cards Here’s the insight: Why 3? “First, find a profitable idea.” 1. 2.
Business Card Websites, part 2 3 months ago I launched my Business Card Website (coining that term). The reactions varied from extremely positive to people saying they didn’t understand the purpose of it. Here’s a brief recap of what happened since then. People have been writing / tweeting about it, people have been analyzing it. Can I use/buy it? Besides people blatantly stealing the original design, I was surprised by the amount of emails I was getting (and am still receiving) of people asking if they could use, or even buy the design. A change of mind I looked back at the site, the code behind it, and made a list of changes that needed to happen so that there was some space to customize it. Inspired Another reason I made this decision, is that people started making their own BCW’s (sounds cool, huh?). As I said in a comment on Safetygoat.co.uk: I’m really honored by these ones, as they are somewhat tributes to my original version. If there are more, link them up in the comments! Conclusion
