My Weekly Reminder

We’ve all heard the cliché: “If you’re having fun, you can’t be working.”  As it turns out, that cliché is totally untrue.  People who have fun while they’re working actually work much harder than people who don’t.  The reason is that people are made for fun.  Fun recharges our batteries and releases our energy thus making it possible for us to work harder.  On the other hand, if fun is restricted or prohibited in the workplace, some unhealthy symptoms quickly appear: we become bored and disinterested in our work so we turn to the internet for our fun.  Our batteries are no longer getting recharged, so there’s less energy available for us to apply to our work.  As a result, a lot less work gets done.  So, if you want to significantly improve the productivity of your team or department, let people know that it’s okay to have fun while they work.  And, if you want to kick the productivity up even further, set the example by joining in the fun yourself.

This past week, I received the following email from a recent seminar participant:

“Ross,

I found your course very helpful and am applying the methods to a joint collaboration between Engineering and our IT solutions partner on a new Design for a Six Sigma initiative here at my company. Will let you know how things progress.

Regards,”
