What If You Had 20+ Years of Passion In Your Work?

Originally written in February 2014

My aim is to provoke your thinking! With new thinking, you can transform (leadership, culture, behaviors, influence, competitive edge, profits, growth, revenues, etc.) in ways you never before imagined.

WHAT IF YOU HAD 20+ YEARS OF PASSION IN YOUR WORK?
What if you were on an amazing career path you could not plan for or predict?  What if your learning and joy in work was WOWZA great? What if mentors and colleagues entered your life and challenged your thinking with new ideas that could rock the world . . .  ideas that could make a better community for all? This is our journey! Marcia Daszko & Associates is celebrating! So far we have rocked with our executive teams for 20+ years. As catalysts in Strategic Change, Transformation, and Innovation, we are passionate; we love to provoke better, different thinking and strategize with our natural leaders.

Marcia’s Message:

Thank you to my friends, colleagues, clients, and mentors:

My first career was in Corporate Communications and Marketing.  When I met Dr. Perry Gluckman and Dr. W. Edwards Deming, they introduced and mentored me in my second rewarding career in consulting.  There is much work and learning to do as we guide our clients, but I wanted to take a moment to Thank you, all of you for the years of joy in learning and work.  And there is so much more to do!  The journey continues. Guiding transformation (not mere projects) is what we do with leaders, expanding businesses, creating jobs and healthy, creative workplaces.

TRANSFORMATION WILL KICK YOUR BUTT

 Transformation is not easy.  It’s tough! It’s challenging! It can be brutal as the fundamental beliefs, assumptions, and strategies you have held for decades are shattered. It is sometimes a roller coaster ride with uncertainty, doubts, and tears.  But once transforming, one can never turn back (the butterfly cannot go back to being a caterpillar.)   True leadership requires commitment and a passion for learning new, better principles that make sense and are better for all (win-win.)

 Leaders who transform have courage.

How many executives do you know today who think they have anything to learn (especially when they have an executive title with a salary to match?)

How many have courage?

How many understand that leading an organization means that transformation is their job (and that does not mean buying projects, big data, lean six sigma and the next management fads because they just read 100 regurgitated Power Point slides): it means having the knowledge to catapult their industry with their competitive edge!

As I open every speech, class or new client conversation, I share: “My aim is to provoke your thinking.”  When people think differently, they can act differently.  Learning a philosophy of management based in a theoretical foundation is key—and it is the differentiator between adopting management fads (even fads with multi-million dollar advertising budgets behind them) and achieving great success. The journey continues . . . the opportunities abound.  We can all learn, improve, and innovate Together.  We can achieve sustainable, healthy outcomes that our global society needs.

Being and working together, we can experience the next incredible 20 years!  Are you ready?  It’s time . . .  to be a community with a better future!

ARE YOU GETTING THE RESULTS YOU WANT?  IF NOT, CHANGE YOUR THINKING
