Leadership Lessons: What is Success at Work
There is a play that made the rounds decades ago called "How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying" in which the hero knew he had "made it" when he got the key to the executive washroom.

Then decades later there is the film "Wall Street" where money is still the key to success. Yet now the hero is not naive, merely ruthless. It doesn't matter how you get it, so long as you get it. Ethics be damned. Lie, cheat, marry the bosses daughter, marry the boss, just get the money. It seems as a culture this pattern of money as the measure of success continues to be handed from generation to generation with little discussion or redefinition.

You may have missed this unless you were visiting the Jefferson Building at the Library of Congress recently. A female Cooper Hawk is flying loose there and the question is how to help her get out. However, there is a deeper, more important question that our Native American kin would also ask. What is the message that she brings? There is so much wisdom we miss when we disconnect from the messages of nature. Outer nature is a reflection of our inner nature and having lived in New Mexico and studied with Native teachers I have learned to stop and ask why a certain animal shows up in real life or in my dreams. The answers are always illuminating.
