"On Fire" Chapter 3: ARE YOU ALL IN?

Chapter 3: ARE YOU ALL IN? 

Our purpose is to collectively define the ideals behind being "People Centric." We aim to share best practices and learn from each other as to how best we, as leaders, can become a catalyst in the lives of the people we serve. 
 
Read Chapter 3, think through your answers, then discuss them with your leadership team. We ask you to share a summary of your thoughts and insights.  Our goal is to create a learning environment where we can all benefit from each other’s perspectives.

Post your comments to the questions below:

1. Before his accident, John wasn't sure if his brother Jim even liked him; but after his accident, John knew. Jim didn't just like him, he loved him. 
 a. How can a traumatic event like this one bring families together, or show the true nature of our relationships? 

2. Dr. Ayvazian includes Lavelle, the janitor, on rounds each morning to show him that his work matters, that his work has a purpose: by keeping John's room clean, Lavelle was protecting John from life-threatening infections. 
a. Why is it important for every individual to feel purpose and motivation in their daily work? 

Indifference vs. Purpose
At the end of Chapter 3, we are asked the following question: "Are you on fire with purpose today?" 
We would like to hear your responses to that discussion topic and see how other people are feeling. This will help us see the gaps in what is missing from being "People Centric."
