Every once in a while, you are blessed with a great boss.\u00a0 One of my best put that line on my performance plan.<\/p>\n
“Laugh every day.”<\/p>\n
The beauty of that line is multi-layered.<\/p>\n
First, obviously, it’s simply a great idea for all of us to consider every day of our lives.<\/p>\n
Second, it tells you a lot about this particular boss. He valued humor, keeping things light, and having fun – every day.<\/p>\n
Third, by putting this on my performance plan, it suggested that I should have the same expectation of those who reported to me in the corporate hierarchy. The message was clear: At least in this department, work should be fun.<\/p>\n
Don’t get me wrong. He was a tough boss. Demanding. But, he was genuine. Truly interested in you as an individual every bit as much as he was interested in “hitting the numbers” for the business.<\/p>\n
Put that line on your performance plan. Make it a specific goal for you to achieve in your work – and in your life – every day.<\/p>\n
