Fun at Work

Work without fun is drudgery.

Intrinsically, people want to work and be productive. God created us with the desire to work and make a difference. It’s in our DNA.

When you hire the right people, productivity will not be an issue. As a leader, your job is to be a motivator, coach, teacher and counselor. It is also important to promote fun in the workplace.

Fun and work is not mutually exclusive. If you cannot have fun at work, your people will not go above and beyond their job responsibilities; they will not expend discretionary effort.

Work is not always fun but we must make the best of it when it’s not. There is a time to be serious. There is also a time when the environment should be light-hearted.

This idea is not rocket science. This leadership principal is simple. We need to be reminded to have fun in life and work.

Go ahead, promote fun in the workplace.
