Do we have a choice?

"Do what I say" vs.
    "Use your best judgment."

"I'm in charge because I have authority" vs.
    "Take responsibility if you care."

"It's simple and easy but ineffective" vs.
    "It's difficult and a bit complex, but you can handle it and it's more likely to work."

"It's the same as last time" vs.
    "This might not work."

"Because I said so" vs.
    "Show your work."

"Here's the kid's menu" vs.
    "Learn to cook."

"Comply" vs.
    "Question."

"Consume" vs.
    "Produce."

"You haven't been picked" vs.
    "It's always your turn."

"You have no choice" vs.
    "It's always up to you, if you care enough."

Choosing your spot

It's difficult to find the leverage to make a difference. At your job, there are probably people with more experience than you, more domain knowledge than you, even more skills than you. The same is true about your competition.

But there's one place where you can make your mark: Your attitude.

You can bring more generosity of spirit, more enthusiasm, more kindness, more resilience, more positive energy, more bravery and more magic to the room than anyone else, at least right now. Because you choose to.

That can be what you stand for.

These aren't soft skills. They're real.

An overlooked secret to effectiveness (and happiness)

Knowing where 'enough' is.

More might be better for awhile, but sooner or later, it can't always be better. Diminishing returns are the law.

If we look to advertisers, marketers, bosses, doctors, partners and suppliers to tell us when we've reached 'enough', we're almost certainly going to get it wrong.

It's okay to stop when you're happy. 

Is more always better? Sometimes, only better is better
