The Human Machine, like every other earthly creation, requires maintenance. Passion cannot be created when none exists. However, when and if you ever stumble upon passion in one of your employees, it might augur well to remember a few thumb rules:
  1. Passionate employees are 1 in 25 or so. This means that for every 100 employees, you will find 4 you would never like to lose. 
  2. Walk the Talk … all the time: Passionate employees require supervisors without double speak, organizations whose culture is aligned to the vision statement they put on the website.
  3. Do not practice democracy… all the time. Being 4% of your population is reason enough for you to treat these employees with greater affinity and love than others.
  4. Watch out for those seemingly simple complaints: Passionate employees have a lot of work all the time. And when they whisper in your ears about the possible issue with their paycheck or leave credit or reimbursement, follow it through like mad. Passionate employees will not badger you with personal challenges that they face. They will share this with you once, or maybe twice. And if things were not sorted out, you would have lost them long before you would know.
  5. Give them their rest: There exist a common folk saying in Kerala… the bull that is best is given the neighbors land also to till! The bull will eventually wear out and search another master, be aware!
