However, if you are reading this, and happen to work there... enjoy the complimentary exposure.

Please note: This post is going to make you feel warm and fuzzy.

Being the nut I am about business, and how it can become a great thing if you want, and try, to make it great, I can't help but love (gag) the new Microsoft Office commercials...with the tag line "Great moments at work".

So, yes.. you guessed it, yesterday, I had a great moment at work. It was amazing.. we had a major initiative that had to be out the door by the end of the day, and a team of us rallied together to pull it off. Needless to say, we spun our notebooks on the ground, slid along the terrazo floors hooting and hollering just like in the commercial. What a sense of accomplishment. What a moment of pride. What a lousy reminder that it had been a while since we felt that way. Sure, we do incredible things everyday... we just make it seem easy.

Therefore, on my way into the office today, I decided to have that remarkable feeling at the end of every day. I will raise the bar, I will rally the troops. I will outperform.. Sure it's extra energy, but as you will see next week (yes it's newsletter time again, and if you want it flip me an email iwantthenewsletter@thebeacongroup.ca ) passion is a major factor in successful Organizational Development.

I'm disappointed in myself for not realizing sooner that we could be even better than we usually are. In fact, I'm mad as hell.
