If music is so magical, you might wonder if it can be used as a team-building activity. You’ve hired wonderful individuals, yet they haven’t yet gelled as a team for some reason. You want your employees to be happy, working together, supporting one another towards a common goal. How do you foster teamwork and get your employees playing together like a successful band?
Gene Simmons of KISS once said, “James Bond has a license to kill. Rockstars have a license to be outrageous. Rock is about grabbing people’s attention.”
You may not dream of performing in a sold-out arena; however, being a good leader means you’ll need to grab your employees’ band members attention. You’ll need to be someone worthy of looking up to and following. And to do that… you’ll need to be outrageous!
What is an Outrageous Leader?
If you’re a leader, the thought of using the word “love” in a professional context may bring up fears of conversations with Human Resources and potential lawsuits. Don’t worry; we’re not talking about that today. We’re talking about “Agape,” the Greek word for selfless, unconditional love. How do you turn up the volume of the love in your leadership?
Work can be stressful! No matter how much employees are properly trained, love their jobs, and feel a sense of purpose in what they do, situations arise (often daily) that can cause stress and hamper your employees’ satisfaction and happiness. Whether it’s an irate customer, a vendor who delivers late, a coworker who didn’t complete their piece of a project on time, or just tech frustration, stress happens.
Thankfully, there is good news.
If you’re like most leaders, your goals include higher profits, happier customers, improved employee satisfaction, and reduced turnover. Makes sense. If you’re ready to turn up success this year, those are all excellent goals.
But what if one… dare I say “resolution…” could help you achieve all of those goals Happiness and productivity: Understanding the happy-productive worker
