What Is The History Of Your Organization?

I recently marveled in the famous, historical architecture of the Arc de Triomphe while in Paris. The city is full of history and that is a lot of what makes it a wonderful place. That really got me wondering how often organizations think about their history. There are many companies that are well over 100 years old… how many of those have retained the history of where they came from and their original values?

This means that work is much less about a place to go and more about a work mode. It’s about switching your mind into the action of working from wherever you may be. Today, I’m working while filming this video at the beautiful Luxembourg Garden in Paris. You may choose to work in an office, a coffee shop, a Breather unit, or from a garden a thousand miles away from your home! Work is a state of mind, not a place. […]
