<description><![CDATA[Buying the "why" made a lot of sense to me and was emphasized by the story he used of the masons. Regardless of what it is that you do, if you recognize and connect with the value of why you are doing it you will be much happier. If you have ever watched an episode of "dirty jobs" I would have to assume those people, while they may not verbalize it during the show, would have to believe in their company's "why". In higher education staff stay longer and dedicate more time without complaining or giving poor quality work because they believe in their department or university's why. In the job search you can expect the very similar job descriptions for specific jobs. For those that can look anywhere and are not limited by certain factors an organization that can make their "why" known and clear make them a more viable company for candidates. Even if this isn't done with the job description it most certainly should become more apparent during phone/skype and especially on-campus interviews. Many people take lesser paying positions based on the experience they have with these interviews and it goes back to having an understanding of that group's why. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I completely agree that people more readily buy into the why of an organization as opposed to the what. I do think that the level of commitment to this practice changes based on an individual as well, however. One of the questions I love to ask students as they sit down with me to chat is why they picked WIU. Some of them will describe feeling welcome on campus, having a "gut-feeling" during recruitment times, or feeling like the faculty or admissions team had something special (these I would like of as "why" people). Other responses are simply that the campus is close to home, the price point was good, or that they wanted to be in the area ("what" people). Keeping that in mind, I do think that people will buy the what-- but the why is what keeps someone on our campus once they begin.<br /><br />In terms of higher education, we see this a lot during recruitment and admission processes since bringing new students, residents, and staff to the team involves individual being confident that your organization providing something beyond the basic necessities. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I absolutely adore this concept and I find it fascinating.  As I read this particularly part of the book, I kept thinking of how to apply it to the things we do now.  For example, during recruitment and selection for student staff, instead of advertising: you get room and board, you get to help people (always so generic, I know, but that's what our students say in their interviews), you get to list it on a resume so be an RA!, I wonder what the outcome/pool would look like if we said: are you the kind of person who enjoys helping others, do you like to mentor, are you interested in learning and practicing skills such as problem solving and crisis management?  Well then we have the job for you!  I'm really inspired to take a serious look at how I can implement the Golden Circle concept and concept of people buying into the Why into my work this year.]]></description>
