All the outcomes that we want, you won’t get without love.ĪDI IGNATIUS: That sounds great. That’s really what the point of the book was, is to go, you don’t have to love all you do, but if you have a working situation where there’s no love in it, you won’t be creative. They want development, but the two most discriminating questions in terms of high-performing and low-performing is, do I have a chance to use my strengths every day at work? And was I excited to go to work every day last week? There’s a frequency and an everydayness to finding love in what you do. In fact, if you look at all the questions that might separate high-performing people from low-performing people, yes, people want a sense of mission. That’s the challenge for all of us, and it’s not once a month. They don’t love all that they do, but they do find love in what they do. Well at least there’s no data behind that, but what we do find, and really from the last 25 years of my career, when you do a study group, focus group and you’re studying highly successful people in any role, from housekeepers, to teachers, to lawyers, to doctors, or whatever, and you’re interviewing them about what they do, you always find that there are moments, situations, or context that they love. You know the old cliche, find what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life again.

Well, first of all, just to be clear, from a research standpoint, there is no data that says that everybody who excels at what they do has to love all that they do.
