18: The Energizing Principle of Serious Play
We're concentrating right now on a concept that Ray developed many years ago, called serious play. Serious play looks at the characteristics of dynamic people, or serious players, who really get things done in the workplace. Today, we have the third part in the series about serious play. In the first and second parts, we gave an overview of serious play, and we spoke about how Ray came to discover it. Tune in now, to find out more!
Over the following six episodes, we will be examining the six characteristics of serious players that Ray has identified, and we will be diving deeply into each characteristic. Ray will give us a detailed description of what each characteristic is, he will share a story about someone who has lived out that characteristic, and then he will explain how others can develop those characteristics in their own lives. In today's episode, Ray talks about the Energizing Principle of Serious Play and he explains the four different ways to manage your energy. Listen in, to find out what Ray learned from serious players about the principle of being energized and energizing other people.
Show Highlights:
- Ray discusses the first characteristic of serious players.
- All of Ray's interviewees spent at least 60 percent of their time doing what they loved to do.
- Doing what they loved to do gave the serious players the surplus energy that they needed to do the things they didn't necessarily like to do but they had to do.
- Ray discovered that serious players were not only energized people, but they also energized the people around them. That's why they called it the Energizing Principle of Serious Play.
- An example of the Energizing Principle of Serious Play.
- People can develop the serious player within themselves.
- Some people actually shifted from reluctant work to serious play.
- Ray talks about the gentle art of mismatch reduction.
- Ray tells a story about changing positions within an organization.
- Ray found that there are four ways to do mismatch reduction, to move into an energizing place.
