A practical handbook for making management great again
Managing for Happiness offers a complete set of practices for more
effective management that makes work fun. Work and fun are not polar
opposites; they're two sides of the same coin, and making the workplace
a pleasant place to be keeps employees motivated and keeps customers
coming back for more. It's not about gimmicks or 'perks' that disrupt
productivity; it's about finding the passion that drives your business,
and making it contagious. This book provides tools, games, and practices
that put joy into work, with practical, real-world guidance for
empowering workers and delighting customers. These aren't break time
exploits or downtime amusements--they're real solutions for common
management problems. Define roles and responsibilities, create
meaningful team metrics, and replace performance appraisals with
something more useful. An organization's culture rests on the back of
management, and this book shows you how to create change for the better.
Somewhere along the line, people collectively started thinking that work
is work and fun is something you do on the weekends. This book shows you
how to transform your organization into a place with enthusiastic Monday
mornings.

Modern organizations expect everyone to be servant leaders and systems
thinkers, but nobody explains how. To survive in the 21st
century, companies need to dig past the obvious and find what works.
What keeps top talent? What inspires customer loyalty? The answer is
great management, which inspires great employees, who then provide a
great customer experience. Managing for Happiness is a practical
handbook for achieving organizational greatness.
