I’ve always been baffled by how difficult it seems for many leaders to bring joy to the workplace. In my own leadership experience, I didn’t find it that challenging. I’m not that unique, so what’s the issue? Given that it’s now widely recognized that joy in the workplace drives improved morale and productivity, perhaps a “joyful” disposition should be a prerequisite for leadership roles. If you naturally exude joy, you’re more likely to bring it into everything you do. Maybe it’s time to broaden the criteria for people managers to include these often overlooked traits. https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/sparking-joy-as-a-manager-6136428/
