Tom Peter’s recently wrote about good work.
I appreciated Tom Peter’s points:
Good work: Help others grow. Infectious enthusiasm. Always approachable. A ready smile. Keeping promises. Learning. Learning. Learning.
Good work: Most of our conscious life will be at work. Like it or not. Waste your work life and you have wasted your life.
Good work: The quality of the experience of producing the product is as important as the product itself.
I love good work and think we need to rethink all this blathering hype about doing great work. Good is good enough.
As Garrison Keillor states, “Be well. Do good work. Keep in touch.”
David Zinger is an employee engagement speaker and expert who celebrates good work.
I really enjoyed reading your post. There is truth to the phrase, “you catch more bees with honey.” No one likes a dictator, yet so often managers and owners use this approach to “motivate” the staff and get results.
Thanks John. Invitation works so much better than imposition. David
