Stop caring. Start doing. Get results
I found this really good, provoking quote from Michael Crichton's book 'State of Fear'. The book is so full of conspiracy theories about global warming and other environmental concerns, and even has a plot about a group of 'eco-terrorists' who are willing to sacrifice innocent people to justify their cause. One of the major character is a billionaire who donates a lot of money to environmental causes, but has a collection of Ferraris and flies a private jet everywhere. Kinda reminds me of Jay Kay from Jamiroquai who owns 30 high-performance cars, while widely known as a Greenpeace supporter. On a sidenote, I love his answer when asked about this, "it's actually a good thing 'cause I only get to drive one at a time." Witty This quote was said during a heated argument between a skeptic character and a celebrity who is also an environmental supporter: "Caring is irrelevant. Desire to do good is irrelevant. All that counts is knowledge and results." This, my friends, is so damn true! In my line of work, I meet so many passionate people who care a lot about this country, and who have the desire to help the unfortunates Unfortunately -pardon the corny wordplay- some of them don't know how to turn all those care and desire into real results. In one of my discussions with Rene, we talked about how finding my passion was just a start. Turning it into action is a whole lot harder to do. People who have the passion is no good for execution, if they do not possess the skills required.
We want results.
I may be known to some as a tough leader who manage by fear sometimes.
All in the quest for results.
To play fair, I can be the best buddy for those who show they can achieve things. In my current line of work, having the passion is very important. In fact, we have turned down a lot of people who are good performers who are only after the money. We wanna build a tribe. And people in a tribe has a common vision, not just money. But caring and desire to help alone are not enough. You gotta have the knowledge and skills to get results This post's title was thought up to provoke. Hell, all headlines are. What I want really want to tell people is to stop talking, and start doing more. You gotta have a heart first before your brain start telling your hand to reach out to the right direction. And I quote the management philosophy from my previous company: HEART. BRAIN. HAND.
