The Fish Philosophy is based on four principles which when adopted can lead to higher employee morale and consequently better operational results. Here is a closer look at the first two principles:
Everyone can benefit from a little lightening up during the day. We now know that the primary antidote to stress is fun, laughter and engaging our sense of humour. Endorphins, which override stress hormones and produce a sense of calm, are released by the brain every time we laugh or engage in a fun activity.
People who find ways to incorporate play into their daily lives approach their work, responsibilities and challenges with energy and enthusiasm. They display a contagious optimism towards work and the people they work with. They are forever cheerful and energetic and display a beneficial and constructive sense of humor.
In fact, play brings out the child deep inside each one of us, the person who never hesitated to ask why? Or How come? Bringing forth the person who looks at the world creatively and openly. Some of the best innovations in the world are a result of playing with ideas.
The practice of make their day could be as simple as holding open a door for someone, asking about a person’s family, showing gratitude and saying thank you. It goes beyond merely being civil and pleasant; it is taking that extra step you did not have to take. And that makes all the difference.
Whether it is spontaneous or planned, when you make the effort to brighten someone’s day, not because you expect a rewards, but because that’s the person you want to be, you experience fulfillment and you are a pleasure to be around ad positivity is contagious.
