“Purpose” is a big deal in business these days. Finding and having a strong sense of purpose is an important part of having a strong company culture. The blogosphere is utterly awash with it.
 
My friend, Tony Hsieh of Zappos, really nailed this idea in his New York Times bestseller, "Delivering Happiness". And another friend, Mark Earls, nailed this idea sooner than most of us with his whole “Purpose-Idea” thing.
 
With the Olympic GAMES upon us, I was thinking about the idea of "play" in the world of work... (What my favorite future-shocker, Pat Kane calls “The PlayEthic”).... and how The Play Ethic is so necessary for said “purpose”.
 
In my experience, the big ideas come from play, not from pressure. Any half-decent artist, hacker, inventor or scientist will tell you the same.
 
Playing is how we learn to hack, how we learn to invent, how we teach ourselves to create.

How we teach ourselves to SURVIVE.
 
So as wonderful as the Olympic athletes are to watch, I think maybe it’s time to rethink The Games, not in terms of “achievement,” “excellence,” “competition,” “glory,” but a celebration of PLAY itself.
 
Just an idea.
