Catalyst: The ultimate strategies on how to win at work and in life

by Chandramouli Venkatesan

way you live your life can be a catalyst for your success at work. Developing a ‘passionate striving’ hobby is the catalyst that allows you to meet your achievement need outside work and thus helps you operate from mastery and purpose at work. That, coupled with the leadership impact that superior values can create, can place you in the highest echelons of success. If you truly want to break free of the 35–40 per cent mentioned earlier and if your aspiration is for legacy-creating leadership and the breakout success that very few achieve, then you have to bring the catalyst of life into work. You have to bring the power of who you are, your values, your passion, into work, and you have to keep improving these. Very few people bring the power of

their entire being to success at work. Very few develop the level of values required to become legacy-creating leaders who leave an impact. If that is your aspiration then you have to set a standard for yourself to be in the 1–2 per cent of the highest values-driven, self-aware individuals.
