Dedicated to the countless leaders whom I have had the chance to learn from along my own professional journeythose I have had the opportunity to lead and be led by, and those whose leadership I've watched from a distance. And to those leaders out there who share in my quest to create workplaces that bring out peoples best.

Contents

Part I:
Introduction to the Blue Flame

Chapter 1. What Is the Blue Flame?

Heres the big idea in 102 words:

Amazing things happen when you play at the intersection point of three powerful forces:

Your Talents: what you can do best.

Your Passions: activities that invigorate you.

Your Purpose: what you care deeply about.

When these forces collide, a powerful chemical reaction called the Blue Flame can be ignited. The Blue Flame has the power to ignite careers, to turbocharge companies, and dare I be so bold to change the world. And there hasnt been a more important time than now for leaders and their teams to lean into the performance-enhancing, life-altering, growth-accelerating, world-changing power of the Blue Flame.

This book was written primarily for people in leadership roles. The research-backed and battle-tested ideas that we will explore in this book can help you to get the best out of your people, and in doing so, make their life and your company richer. If youre like me, getting the best out of your people that they have to give probably matters to you quite a bit, as leaders who are up to big, important things need a team of people who have come alive.

The ideas that follow are rooted in four fundamental beliefs that leaders hoping to harness the power of the Blue Flame in their business should embrace. Before passing go, it is important that we level-set here.

Belief #1: Every person is exceedingly talented in their own way.
Sometimes, people themselves dont know their talents or dont use them fully. As we will discuss in Chapter 4 there can be some real psychological and cognitive impediments to understanding our own talents. But great Blue Flame leaders, those who get the best that their people have to give, believe that theres extraordinary talent to be found, unearthed, and unleashed in every person.

Belief #2: The role and responsibility of a leader is to help unleash this talent.
Blue Flame leaders feel a strong sense of responsibility to help each of their people discover their own Blue Flame, and apply it in a way that can have big impact. They view themselves as the catalysts who spark the reaction between an employee's talents, passions, and purpose, and the goals of the organization. Leaders who are up to big things need to get the best out of those around them. As you will see in Chapter 11, Blue Flame conversations can be invaluable in helping leaders to do this.

Belief #3: Companies should exist to enhance the lives of those they serve, starting with their employees .
Companies, and the leaders who lead them, should embrace a strong sense of responsibility and commitment to making the workplace a force for good in the lives of their employees. Research has shown that employees who work in enriching workplaces reward their employers with higher levels of productivity, greater loyalty, and ultimately, better business performance. Blue Flame leaders understand that building a culture that puts their peoples talents to good use, crafts their role around work they find invigorating, and helps them find meaning in the work is integral to maximizing profits, rather than in opposition to it.

Belief #4: The world would be a better place if every person lived and worked in alignment with their Blue Flame.
If everyone was working and living in alignment with their Blue Flame, within their business and beyond, imagine the problems we could solve, the codes we could crack, and the tough challenges we could overcome.

I can distinctly recollect the first time I saw the video of comedian and actor Jim Carreys original 1980 Saturday Night Live audition. I was in stitches, totally bowled over by the performance. At the time of its filming, Carrey was just 17 or 18 years old, and was scraping by as the opening act at a comedy club in Toronto called Yuk Yuks.

As the cameras started rolling at NBC Studios, Carrey seemed confident and relaxed, despite an environment that must have been far from relaxing, given he was performing for a small and hyper-critical audience of seen it all before SNL staffers.

Carrey launches into his bid, his opening gambit an impersonation of post-nuclear Elvis. You need to see the clip to fully understand the post-nuclear aspect, but picture a normal-sized Elvis with hands sticking directly out of his torso.

His perfect Elvis sneer reaches halfway up one side of his face. His hips sway and his legs have taken on that rubbery quality that was so characteristic of Elviss style. Carreys floppy hair seems to be doing a decent impersonation of the Elvis quiff all by itself.

With his face fixed into a perfect replica of Elviss trademark sneer, he starts to sing: Uhhh I said one for the money His hips roll. His knees flick right and left. Pause. A chuckle or two emerge from the small audience.

Two for the show His knees again flick left and right. Pause.

Three to get ready now go cat go His post-nuclear arms now flap and flail in time with his legs, as he breaks into a full-on dance that appears plenty Elvis-like, but for the undersized arms fluttering as he moves.
