Management, Business, Relationships, Happiness, Leadership
Summary
Managers can create the framework from which its team members--and its business--can thrive … or not. We’ll discuss that in our Thought of the Day. And later in our interview segment, we learn from Holland’s own leadership and management authority, Jurgen Appelo. He’ll discuss the concept of managing for happiness, which also happens to be the name of his great new book. That and more on today’s show.

- The surprising reality is that many company leaders and managers don’t create positive work environments, despite abundant research that shows why it’s so important.
- The famous piece of advice from Ken Blanchard & Spencer Johnson’s classic, The One-Minute Manager that can make a big difference in employee morale.
- Why taking care of your employees results in your employees taking care of the bottom line.
Interview with Jurgen Appelo
