Passion is not something that a leader can teach, as if he or she could impart the information and then give a test to see how well team members understood passion and embodied it in their work. Rather passion is the result of a person doing the right job or having the right career. It comes from doing well what you love to do.
Leaders don’t necessarily have to mandate passion out of each employee, but they should recognize those individuals that lack the passion and strive to help them find it in their position. More importantly, leaders should recognize and celebrate team members who do display passion for their work.
It is not enough to do a good job or know your business. A person and organization must have the passion to pass on to others. Why? Because passion is the fuel for an organization’s success no matter what industry, region or economy one is in.
