“Passion is when you put more energy into something than is required to do it. It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement, passion is ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind, body and soul into something as is possible.”
Wow! This means that if I’m passionate about something, or someone for that matter, then I’m gonna press into it. I’ll give it my all and then some. I’ll willingly go the extra mile, and I’ll enjoy doing it!
Passion For Shared Goals Is Part Of Buy-In
Because we all want to know ‘what’s in it for me’, passion is a key ingredient in creating buy-in. The first task in enlisting others to a cause is to identify common aspirations. When Leaders develop shared goals and inspire confidence in the validity of them, Teams respond more enthusiastically because they understand what achievement of the goal means TO THEM.
