People spend about 75% of their adult wake time doing work related activities getting ready for work, traveling to work, working, thinking about work, or simply unwinding after work. Given that the better part of our day is dedicated to work, we ought to enjoy it and be energized by it. In his book, Fish! A remarkable way to boost morale & improve results, Stephen Lundin suggests, “When we choose to love the work we do, we can catch our limit of happiness, meaning, and fulfillment every day.”
The goal of the Fish! Philosophy is to learn how to boost morale and improve operational results in a business organization. Implementing the four suggested strategies will not only increase employee retention, it will motivate people to take pride in what they do. People like to work in an environment that is fun, energizing and where they can make a difference. The Fish! Philosophy will also benefit every employee, because it prevents burnout and will keep them excited about what they do. The four key practices of the Fish! Philosophy is:
Play is synonymous with work. It is about having fun, enjoying yourself and being spontaneous and creative.
Be there, be present is about being totally focused on the moments and on the person or task with which you are engaged. When you are fully present and aware during conversations with people, important opportunities do not escape you.
Make their day is doing something special for your customers and co-workers. When you make someone’s day, you have given them a special gift they would not soon forget. It feels good to give it.
Choose your attitude is accepting full responsibility for all of your choices, even your attitude at work
