“Creative ideas flourish best in a shop which preserves some spirit of fun. Nobody is in business for fun, but that does not mean there cannot be fun in business.”-Leo Burnett
A business leader is responsible for establishing the VISION and the FOCUS of the organization. HAVING FUN is a critical focus area. Focus on making business fun. Celebrate worthwhile progress toward your goals. Celebrate your company’s successes often and reward your employees for superior performance.
Come up with excuses to praise your team and recognize success. Share the joy. Make coming to work a meaningful and fulfilling event. In fact, appoint a CFO (Chief Fun Officer). Empower this person to come up with clever ideas, based on employee feedback, which will put some excitement and fun into the work environment.
Never forget, often as important as a paycheck, good employees want to learn and grow, be challenged and rewarded, and fulfill their cravings to be social beings. Make your culture an enjoyable place to work! How are you doing keeping yourself and employees focused on having fun?
Never lose sight of the fact that your primary responsibility as a Strategic Business Owner is LEADING!
