Gwen Moran, a columnist for Entrepreneur.com, recently contacted me to talk about "WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW" and the lessons it holds for improving workplaces. From that interview, she developed a useful list of tips for managers who want to improve quality and productivity, by making the workplace better for employees. I like the way she synthesized some of the many pages of advice from the book into three key ingredients to a happy workplace:
- A supervisor who cares
- Sincere and specific praise and feedback
- A supportive and fair workplace culture
Here's
a link to Moran's full column, "Three Secrets to Happy Employees" and my advice for developing those key ingredients. Of course, to really know how to make it happen, I think you just have to read the book. Keep leading, friends.
