Seth Godin: (re)Radical aka (re) Imagine

"Does this place exist to maintain and perpetuate the status quo, or am I here to do the work that the radical founder had in mind when we started?"

Good Morning Folks,

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend - especially after an awesome week at FSO! 

We had the second CHO Club last week - which was just amazing!!  (and we have the pictures to prove it)!

I along with the entire ELT LOVE nothing more than celebrating YOU, our valued employees! 

Our company is growing and nothing is going to stop us. We are too strong. Focused. Passionate and committed to making FSO the number one on site outsourcing company on the planet. 

The quest for growth is always powered by a thirst for change. Seth Godin, one of  marketing's brightest minds put it this way in a blog post this weekend:

(re)Radical  <aka (re) Imagine>
At the congregation down the street, they're doing things the way they've done them for the last few hundred years. Every week, people come, attracted by familiarity, by the family and friends around them, part of a tribe.

And just past that building is another one, a different tribe, where the tradition is more than a thousand years old. 

This is not so different from that big company that used to be an internet startup, but all the original team members have long left the building. Work tomorrow has a lot in common with work yesterday, and the safety of it all is comforting. 

Che, Jefferson, Edison, Ford... most of these radicals would not recognize the institutions that have been built over time. 

The question each of us has to answer about the institution we care about is: Does this place exist to maintain and perpetuate the status quo, or am I here to do the work that the radical founder had in mind when we started? 

First principles. The quest for growth, or for change, or for justice. The ability, perhaps the desire, to seek out things that feel risky. 

All of us are part of organizations that were started by outliers, by radicals, by people who cared more about making a difference than fitting in.

Bravo to all those who won the invite to attend and to everyone else - the next one is 2 June 2015 - I want to see YOU there! Demonstrate the FSO skip, fire, twinkle...WOW! your client...be an awesome teammate....and you can win an invite!! 

This is yet another step in making FSO the company we want to be. To be the happiest place to work and one of Americas greatest companies to work for. 

Rock the week,

Mitchell D. Weiner
Chief Happiness Officer
