Steve was once a Drill Instructor in the Army, a musician and singer, and he's been involved in broadcasting for more than 30 years. All of this combined with his deep interest in the global nature of business makes for an interesting – and often fun – take on leadership.

Here's a passionate look at leadership from Steve:

Try Talent, Passion and Purpose
by Steve Roesler (March 13, 2008)

The Passion discussion started on February 26th as a result of Phil Gerbyshak's "Wow" Factor article (Phil, I hope you've found some of those "Wow" people by now).

Since then, the discussion about passion and work has been passionate.

Why?

I'm sure there are as many individual reasons as there are individuals. These are mine:

1. Passion is, by definition, an emotional word.

2. A significant portion of the population is not wired to inherently associate the words passion and work. That doesn't mean those folks don't care about work, aren't enthusiastic, or don't excel in their chosen fields. It's just that the two words create dissonance when used in the same phrase.
