My experience has been when you respect people and create a culture that allows them to take pride and enjoy their work, people LOVE it. It makes work easier, less stressful and more productive.
Quite frankly, it is much harder to get most “managers” to spend time engaging with those who do the work, learning not to react to every little thing they see.
Workplaces that are not built on great faith in human beings and their untapped potential, are run by top-down command and control managers using paint by numbers solutions seeking magic pills.
I am not saying anyone reading this does, but if you do, why assume managers are the only ones who care? Why assume you know better just because you are the boss? Why keep on telling, cajoling, and rewarding (bribing) people to do what is in their nature to do, when shown respect, love, and a few simple principles?
When we treat people as widgets, things, machines, or possessions, it is thinly veiled contempt. Rewards and goals give management the illusion of control. Only capable processes, and compassionate understanding combined with genuine love for those you work with, and those you serve, leads to real control.
Being a slave to constantly policing, you too can never really enjoy work or enjoy life. After all, work is supposed to be the adult equivalent of play, and love, much more than war, is the right model on which to build a thriving business.
