Looking for some very light reading for the weekend?
Check out A Carbon-Neutral Pile of Manure, my new column on Talent Zoo which takes a look at brands desperate to greenwash themselves. Why? Money is green. Or vice versa.
If you live in Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, or other Midwest cities, you can head to the bookstore and grab a copy of Create Magazine, whose Sept/Oct Midwest edition has a column of mine entitled “The Importance of Filtering Actionable Jargon Into Buckets”.
Can’t you just tell my day job leaves me creatively unfulfilled?
Enjoy.

    re: career satisfaction
    from today’s NYT:

    HOW do the world’s highest achievers define success?
    After interviewing 200 people worldwide “who have made a difference in their fields,” Jerry Porras, a professor of organizational behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business; and Stewart Emery and Mark Thompson, both management coaches, write that “extraordinary people, teams and organizations are simply ordinary people doing extraordinary things that matter to them.”
    The authors refer to successful people as “builders.” “We learned,” they wrote, “that builders find lasting success when three essential elements come into alignment in their lives and work.”
    The first element is meaning. “What you do must matter deeply to you,” they wrote.
    The second is a “highly developed sense of accountability, audacity, passion and responsible optimism.”
    And finally, they said, these successful people “find effective ways to take action.”

    I don’t know about you, but I get tripped up on number one–meaning.
