The Canadian Sanity of Good Employee Engagement

September 26, 2013 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

The sanity of good trumping great at work

John Cleese, a very funny man who helped create and act in Monty Python and Fawlty Towers said the following about Canadians during a recent interview with Canada’s Globe and Mail

You’re about the sanest nation there is. I think America has become such an extroverted culture, so you feel a little pale by comparison. I want to say, no, no, you’re the normal ones.… What I like about Canadians is that I’ve never heard a Canadian who thought anything about Canada was exceptional. It’s why you’re deliciously sane.

As I encourage a return to the pursuit of good work and the abandonment of trying to be great I feel a little saner today.  Things don’t always need to be exceptional in our country or at work — good can be good enough.
