What this episode covers

In two recent leadership sessions, the same theme has come up. In one someone asked, ‘Why do we have to get better? Why can’t we just be good at our work and be left alone? We do the job well and that is that.’ The other comment was from someone saying that within their organisation many people just want the job to pay the bills; they don’t want career promotion. Both comments reflect the idea of ‘enough’. --- Enjoyed this episode?
