In a recent interview he said,
"Becoming an entrepreneur is really about giving yourself a big assignment....If you pick an interesting enough problem and you develop an interesting enough solution you can continue to work on that and spend several years really getting it right."
As a leader, you have the same opportunity to give yourself a big assignment.
Something that will take everything you do best.
Your big assignment is the impact you hold yourself accountable for having no matter where or with whom or how you work.
It's interesting and meaningful enough to hold your attention and intention over time.
What others expect of you is important, but what you expect of yourself is more important. The 'big assignment' you give yourself is how you've decided to measure your success.
As Kohl Vinh pointed out, the point isn't perfection. It's the pursuit.
Our natural talents and developed strengths uniquely qualify us to pursue this big assignment, giving us each the ability to make a difference that matters.
What is yours?
