Why is being passionate about what you do essential to being the best at what you do?

In 2015, I wrote about the results of a poll asking procurement professionals if they had a do-over career-wise, would they still choose procurement as their profession? – https://procureinsights.com/2015/11/23/would-50-of-all-procurement-professionals-really-choose-a-different-career/

Three key takeaways:

1. Not surprisingly, the vast majority indicated that they just “sort of ended up” in purchasing instead of choosing it as a career.

2. 50% responded that they would, in fact, have pursued a career path other than procurement.

3. When asked why they would choose a different career path, one of the more prevalent answers was the feeling that their contributions did not make a difference.
