I’m in Tucson right now, writing this sitting pool side in some beautiful weather. It’s gorgeous here right now, not too hot, just a light breeze – all good. I’m here for some meetings with colleagues, a client and my private master mind group. We get together about every 6 months to work on our businesses, flush out ideas, put strategies in place, etc.

There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel - or at least a twinkle of hope. And we're determined to turn it into a starry night! Much like Santa's workshop a week or so before Christmas, the elves - or should I say the entrepreneurs - are busy at work. What are they doing? Coming up with new ideas for doing business differently. Uncovering new revenue streams.

In response to LeadingBlog’s call for GTY stories, Chip Nuttall posted this wonderful comment in which he expands the scope of potential for the Greater Than Yourself endeavor. And he wonders if he may be carrying a GTY gene passed down from his late grandfather. Read on: “In a nutshell, it’s all about ‘they’ stories. All too often, you hear ‘leaders’ tell ‘I’ stories.

A while back, I received a distressed email from Ken, a young manager at a high-tech company. Ken and I had never met, but he had read my first two books and had done his best to apply the ideas and practices of Extreme Leadership to the way he’d led his team. To their culture, their work ethic, their camaraderie. When necessary, Ken told me, they would band together and work hard–10 to 20 hours a day at times–to solve a problem or meet a pressing need.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

This story just came in from Jeff at Microsoft: “My GTY story actually started a couple of years ago, but I didn’t know that’s what it was called. I have a co-worker who is a peer of mine in another group and we work closely on various projects. For a person of her age (she is the same age as my daughter) I think she has a lot of potential and I have always felt she is capable of so much more.
