Is your team happy?
Are YOU happy?
If you answered “No” or “Maybe” to the above questions then you will be interested in the new book by Tal Ben-Shahar entitled:
Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment
Ben-Shahar is a Harvard Professor and his class on happiness is reported to be the most popular on campus.
Does that surprise you?
Harvard students pay upwards of $50,000/year to attend this iconic university and they sign up for a course on happiness?!
Could it be that many of these students will go on to lead teams – – some will be managers, some CEOS, some will create wildly successful start-ups. And if they can create a team or a company that is filled with happy employees, they will gain a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace (reduced turnover, HR dept focused on building capacity rather than putting out fires, increased productivity, reduced stress, fewer sick days, etc.).
Old-school, command-and-control style leaders didn’t concern themselves with helping their employees / team members understand and become happier. Times have changed. Now leaders must lead their teams in a way that inspires and draws out the best in people. The result? Happier employees!
