When it comes to periods of disruption, most of us have learned to treat it like a bad storm – something you do your best to avoid, but if you do encounter it, you just hunker down and wait for clearer skies to return.
But is it possible that we’ve misunderstood the true nature of disruption? That disruption is the very force that helps us to do work that matters – or as my guest writes in his book, to “live a good life”?
It’s an idea Dr. Patrick Leddin shared with me in this fascinating conversation on my “Leadership Biz Cafe” podcast.
Patrick is a FranklinCovey Senior Advisor, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and while serving on the faculty at Vanderbilt University, he served as director of the Program of Business Studies.
I invited Patrick on the show so we could talk about his New York Times bestselling book “Disrupt Everything – and Win: Take Control of Your Future”, which he co-authored with legendary storyteller James Patterson.
Now I’ve been writing and speaking to organizations around the world about the importance of purpose in driving enduring success, so this conversation with Patrick really resonated with me.
And after you listen to our conversation, it will challenge you to rethink how you lead and live your life so that you no longer fear disruption, but see it as a means to fulfill your purpose.
