How can we create happier organizations?

Note from HBR

A truly happy organization is one where people are:


1. Energized and motivated by being in control of the work they do

2. Trusted and given freedom, within clear guidelines, to decide how to achieve their results

3. Able to get the life balance they want

4. Valued according to the work they do, rather than the number of hours they spend at their desk.

Leaders create an environment where people can contribute. They ensure there are forums where people can learn, work, improve, and innovate TOGETHER. Leaders don't try to motivate people (that is an arrogant unsustainable myth), but they do have the responsibility to create an environment where people are self-motivated! That's where the power is!
