The most important thing in life is how you feel about yourself!

How people FEEL is the most important aspect of a business!

Have you ever been in a workplace where there is one ‘energy sucker’?

Someone who is pessimistic, frustrated, angry or cynical or doesn’t pull their weight?

When they leave what happens?

It’s as if the sun comes out! People laugh, are productive again and teams collaborate well.

Performance soars.

Or think about a job you left.

Did you leave the job – or the boss?

Customers who rave about your company don’t rave about your company – they rave how your people made them feel.

These are examples of why joy at work really matters to the bottom line. Joy is a complex feeling.

In the last 10 years, a number of scientific fields have been revealing new secrets about how humans really function. And guess what?

As Daniel Pink says, “there is a mismatch between what science knows and business does.”

The world has changed – but in most cases, business has not!

We still try to ‘manage’ people in the same old ways.

But people are different.

They demand more. They want to feel valued; to feel that what they do matters and make a difference; that there is some purpose and meaning to what they do.

They want to feel some sense of autonomy in their work and daily activities, and that they are growing and developing – not just their skills but also as people.

They also want to feel that their boss cares for them; that the company they work for is socially responsible and to feel engaged and enthusiastic about their work – note, their WORK NOT JUST A JOB!

More on that later in part 2 of my blog.

In essence, for success in the corporate world, everything – everything – is really dependent on feelings.

Of course, a clear strategy and structure and processes have to be in place…but companies still say ‘people are the most important aspect of a business’. No, it’s not!
