Modus Operandi

We’ve heard sayings like “What’s her MO?” in TV dramas before.

“MO”–Modus Operandi–is a method of doing something. The Napoleon Hill Foundation defines it as a “Magnificent Obsession”, a positive dream that pushes us forward.

If you work with a great team, you probably have two of these:

• Your Modus Operandi: Your magnificent obsession–your calling–and your method of pursuing it.
• Your team’s Modus Operandi: The magnificent obsession behind your team as a whole.

Can you move in light of both? You must: if your work pushes you forward, your team pushes each other forward, and doing so collectively enables your team’s mission to move forward, you become unstoppable.
