Management, Business, Relationships, Happiness, Leadership
Summary
Managers can create the
framework from which its team members--and its business--can thrive
… or not. We’ll discuss that in our Thought of the Day. And later
in our interview segment, we learn from Holland’s own leadership
and management authority, Jurgen Appelo. He’ll discuss the concept
of managing for happiness, which also happens to be the name of his
great new book. That and more on today’s show.
Bob's Thought of the Day
You’ll discover:
- The surprising reality is that many company leaders and managers don’t create positive work environments, despite abundant research that shows why it’s so important.
- The famous piece of advice from Ken Blanchard & Spencer Johnson’s classic, The One-Minute Manager that can make a big difference in employee morale.
- Why taking care of your employees results in your employees taking care of the bottom line.
Interview with Jurgen Appelo
You’ll discover:
- Jurgen expanding on two key quotes: "The mindless adherence to rules, combined with a steady loss of principles, is always a prelude to bureaucracy," and "With a complex system there is no such thing as central control."
- Jurgen’s explanation of the difference between leadership and management.
- The meaning of Jurgen’s business name “Happy Melly,” and why people remember stories instead of facts or bullet points.
- Why intrinsic motivation is more valuable than extrinsic motivation … but you still need both.
- Why a
motivated worker is not necessary an engaged
worker.
