Be Thankful For Your Work – The Future of Work, Best of the Best Posts – November 24

With the Thanksgiving holiday this Thursday in the United States, I hope everyone who reads this is thankful for their work.

I hope you love it so much that you jump out of bed every morning, ready to start on the ideas swarming in your head.

I hope that when you think of the phrase “Future of Work” you think, “I’m living that!”

I hope you are creating teams that are organized on new principles that allow them to continually amaze you by the awesome work they do.

As we look toward the future, we have a lot to be thankful for.  And I hope your work is one of them.
