Why introduce Passion to my Organisation?

In the trailblazing book, “Good to Great”, Jim Collins’ research team identifies great companies and what makes them tick. The ‘Hedgehog model’ reveals that the first attribute for great companies is passion – great companies do what their employees are passionate about rather than trying to make them passionate about their work. In his own words:
“Good to great companies did not say ‘ok folks, let’s get passionate about what we do’ sensibly, they went the other way entirely; ‘we should only do the things we can get passionate about’.” – Jim Collins

It’s well known amongst web developers that one of the perks of working for Google is that you get to spend 20% of your time on whatever interests you (a concept called ‘Innovation Time Off’). This freedom to explore passions keeps developers happy and has yielded some innovative, not to mention profitable, new products for the company. Google is powered by passion and every time they advertise a new career position they receive over 130 applications.

And where would Apple be without passion?

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as years roll on.” – Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc.

Many people have written about the impact of passion but it is only Passion Maps that has developed the technologies to enable small and large-scale empassioning of organisations. We have found that those who operate from a place of passion are happier, more energised, more collaborative, enthusiastic, innovative and perform at their peak capacity.

HEAR FROM OUR PASSIONATE CLIENTS

Peter’s process of Passion Mapping was critical to the success of the International Organsiation Development Association (IODA) Case Study day. Using his methodology, he enabled people – a diverse, international audience – to connect more deeply and respectfully with each other, thus enabling them to go out to visit previously unknown client groups and engage with them around an OD issue they wished to discuss.Without a trusting and respectful consulting group, any meaningful client work would have been difficult at best. This process was then capped off at the end of the day with a creative and inspiring debrief process to allow the case study groups to debrief, share and maximise their learning in a constructive way. Working with a diverse, international community at the conference created challenges and Passion Mapping and Peter’s skillful facilitation and personal passion was just the right combination to make the most of the learning opportunity. Great day Peter!

Organisation Development & Learning Consultant

Peter and the Passion Mapping process (that he guided my Excom Team and I through) were just extraordinary!
From the very first meeting to the conclusion of the program I became aware of a profound potential for me and my colleagues as individuals and, importantly for us as a Leadership Team. The clarity and focus that I have retained around what my goals REALLY are (all these years later), is a gift for which I will be eternally grateful.

We experienced the Passion Maps Partnerships process at a fortuitous business life cycle phase – just as Hybrid was a twinkle in its owners’ eyes and being established. It allowed us to formulate a clear vision for our business, for our partnership and as individuals in our ongoing careers as we put all of our experience, efforts and energy into our brand new venture. Peter was an extraordinary facilitator who overcame our cynicism and barriers and created an open, inviting, dynamic and creative space for us to work in individually and together. Our Partnership Passion Map will act as a fundamental part of everything that Hybrid Communications International does now and in the future.
