I'm a fan of Seth Godin. His keen insights and observations are pithy and thought-provoking. Seth will be one of the keynote speakers at the Catalyst Conference which takes place in October in Atlanta. I'm signed up to attend, and I look forward to hearing Seth in person at Catalyst.Here's a recent post of Seth's that I found to be both pithy and thought-provoking:
Just wondering--do you deserve to be recognized by the businesses you patronize, the charities you support and the place you work? Would it feel good to have the barrista remember you? Or the owner of Sharky's... that place you spend so much time and money? (Seth didn't actually write that last sentence, but I thought it fit well with the point he's making.)
Even better, do you think it would be motivating (or even satisfying) to have your boss recognize you for the hard work you did over Memorial Day weekend? Honest recognition, not just a mumbled thanks.
Last question: do you think your customers and co-workers feel the same way?
