Find Your Great Work

I am a great fan of the work of Michael Bungay Stanier.  I have subscribed to his newsletter for some years and it is the only one that I read every time - there is always something interesting and thought provoking in it.

This weekend I had the opportunity to meet Michael and attend a workshop to launch his new product Find Your Great Work .  In this Michael has developed something really powerful.  Inherently you will know what great work is.  Michael defines it as 'work that matters, inspires, stretches and provokes.  This is both a place of deep comfort - the 'flow zone' - and discomfort.  The comfort comes from its connection, its 'sight line' to what matters most to you.  The discomfort  comes because the work is new, is challenging and as a result there's an element of risk and possible failure - and it is work that matters, work that you care about.

For organisations, this is the work that drives strategic difference, innovation, 'blue ocean strategy' - and longevity.'

Michael's book is launched in mid March and at the same time he is launching a programme of Coaching for Great Work for organisations.  Watch the movie here .  With it comes an opportunity to download the first three chapters of his book.  You won't regret it.
