JillMarchNewMgrSmilePeople often say "Make a wish" on one's birthday.  Well, today's my day and I'll use the opportunity to make a wish for you.

 

I wish you happiness at work and at play.  And I hope the two intersect.  I hope you find such joy in your work that it often feels like play -- and certainly pleasure. I'm smiling in this photo, which was taken earlier this year at a seminar for new managers, because it reflects the joy I feel in working with leaders.

 

The workplace can be joyful. It happens when leaders believe in employee engagement and in building positive work environments. It takes values, skill and commitment.  I know it's possible and I wish it for you as a leader and as an employee!
