Are you ever happy in your job?

I’m often shocked by the number of people who are hating their work every day, slogging through the grind. As a leader, wouldn’t you like to do better than that for your people?

Are our lives really just about surviving?

I totally understand that most work is not fun in the sense that we would choose to do it in our free time. In fact, having our free time be different than our work is a good thing. We need variety.

What I’m talking about is those positive things we can find during our work days. A few people we enjoy working with. A little positive energy from the boss.

The fact that I’m providing for my family. Some flexibility during the day. Accomplishing something larger than myself with the team.

Doing something a little different every day. Having a nice work environment.

As the boss, how many of these little points of joy can you help people have during their day?
