Great Work Provocations: short sharp shots of inspiration served up daily

Want more from your work? Great Work Provocations provides you with a year's worth of daily less-than-30-seconds-to-read-messages to make you smile, to make you think and to make you act. Questions, metaphors and flat-out challenges are all deployed to make sure that every day is a new day for you when it comes to do more of the stuff that matters ... and less of the other stuff. (from the author) There are only three types of work in your life. There is Bad Work: the mind-numbing, soul-sapping, life-crushing work that grows like weeds. In organizations it is bureaucracy, pointless meetings, email overwhelm ... and anything that makes you think, This is my one and precious life - what am I doing? Then there is Good Work: your job description, and what you spend most of your time doing. And finally there is Great Work: the meaningful work you are hungry for. This is the work that matters, makes a difference and has an impact. It is the work you actually want to tell people about. (Who boasts, I didn't get too far behind on my email today!) ? If you are like most of us, you are struggling just to stay on top of the regular stuff that keeps flowing your way. Bottom line? You want to do more Great Work but you are struggling to get beyond the Bad and the Good. In my book Do More Great Work I offer a systematic way you can find, start and sustain your Great Work. This book is different. Great Work Provocations was designed to wake you up, provoke you and shake you out of the Good Work rut on a daily basis.
