Would Your Life Be Better If. . .

It is one of our responsibilities as leaders to engage in process improvement;  we should also actively engage in professional improvement.   How can we make our lives better?   How can our jobs be more satisfying to us?   How can we enable our teams to function more efficiently?  We should even (and some may consider this a little audacious) understand how can we be happier at work.

So here are some considerations. . .would your life be better if. . .


. . .there was less obsession with internal competition and more focus on internal cooperation?

. . .the mental  divide between managers and leaders just went away and and there was greater emphasis on leadership characteristics for all managers?

. . .the process by which work was accomplished would be considered just as important as the end-result of the work itself?

. . .there was diminished concern about "perfection" and a heightened interest in "curiosity" which would bring new products, services, ways of doing business and, yes, even new ways of leading?

. . .there was less interest in what "I" can do and more interest in what "we" can do?

. . .you become less concerned with getting enough credit for what you do - and become more concerned with giving others enough credit for what they do?

. . .you measured your comments and committed yourself to giving out at least as much praise as you do criticism?

. . .you initiated a culture a gratitude?

. . .you took charge and made the changes that need to happen to create a better workplace. ..and a happier you?

If you like it - share it!
