You've given me some things to ponder.<br /><br />MichaelMichael Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762773757535724585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20242261.post-91367930481799221232011-08-19T02:19:33.405-07:002011-08-19T02:19:33.405-07:00What an absolutely brilliant article Michael.

I think that can be attributed mainly to being completely disengaged in the work they do. <br /><br />When you get environments full of disengaged people, it can present challenges for engaged people, challenges like John mentioned. <br /><br />Solution, more people need to take a risk to find things they care about, so that they do have the motivation and curiosity to strive for excellence!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09740472589910784443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20242261.post-32118756807192211662011-08-16T06:02:09.127-07:002011-08-16T06:02:09.127-07:00Hi, Michael - excellent observation.

Curiosity is not something that can be forced from outside us, but has to arise within us. Others, such as really god teachers or trainers, can influence us, but we still have to generate the desire to know.<br /><br />Our society does not always reinforce this type of internal motivation, which should not matter, but does too often. <br /><br />I have actually had jobs where I was accused of working too hard and making others look bad in comparison:) <br /><br />Didn't stop me, but made team-building a tad trickier.<br /><br />JohnJohn E.
