Make your business happy and rich
Alexander Kjerulf calls himself a "Chief Happiness Office" and is very interested in the possibility of there being such a thing as "Happiness at Work." In a recent post, he writes about how to: "Make your business happy and rich." Here are his observations:
"Happiness at work is a choice
You can't force or pressure people to be happy, no matter how genuine your concern for others. If you create a mood where it's right to be happy and wrong to unhappy or dissatisfied, people will rebel against that and actually become less happy.
Happiness at work is different for everyone
One man's happiness is another person's living hell. We're all different, and the same things will make some people happy, and others unhappy.
Happiness at work is long-term
It's never about blowing off what must be done, in order to have fun and be happy instead. It;s not just about being happy here and now - it's happiness for tomorrow and next year and 10 years from now."
