Before we set our hearts too much upon any thing, let us examine how happy those are who already possess it.

Organizational Courage.
What is it?
It’s identical to personal courage and it starts at the top.
It has to start at the top.
It’s the founder’s story.
And after the founder is gone, the successor has to inspire the organization as if every day is day one.
If you can’t be on fire with this, you aren’t living your purpose, you are existing (probably decently well financially) for a paycheck.
Yes, obviously, this applies to work and home simultaneously.

Unofficial If Disney Ran Your Life podcast release January 25, 2019 proceeded official Podcast launch exactly one year later – nearly three weeks ago.
What’s cool is that Jody trusted me to proceed with the mantra, “This might not work”.

If you are not willing to be wrong you’ll never come up with anything original.
By wrong, don’t think of stupid errors like not adequately recognizing your direct reports, boss, peers, and vendors for their strengths.
By wrong, think in terms of business risks that free you to try things that may not work.
Like walking away from your biggest business deal ever, if you feel the business is blind to their biggest organizational vibrancy opportunity.

Do you understand your Next + ?
So your Next is your big, multi-year goal/vision. It’s as big a goal or vision as you can ever dream up.
Super-hero big.
My first Next, at age 50, was a 10-year vision to do everything in life i wanted to do if i only lived to my 60th birthday.
Now, at 60, there’s a new Next.
It’s a three-year Next, taking me to my 63rd birthday.
The + is a wild card, diamond in the rough kind of karma.
It’s an accentuated risk taking commitment.
It’s a burn the ships commitment.
It is helping me process a potentially lucrative contract against the work-focus that will be required.
With only 2.5 years left in this Next, a lucrative deal has to be something that happens in the next few days and something that signals to me that the CEO is burning the ships.
The potential to transform a company and the industry they service is intoxicating.
But, and this is a huge but (no pun intended), 99% CEO commitment won’t work.
