How to develop a positive and profitable workplace culture
With attracting, and keeping, great staff one of the signposts of a successful business, CommsCon PR Leader of the Year 2016, Ava Lawler, reveals her secrets to building workplace satisfaction.
Early in my leadership career I moaned to a manager about how I was feeling at work. I was stressed, tired and discouraged by the challenges I was facing.
In response he gave me one of the most frustrating, but helpful pieces of advice. He said: “If you don’t like it, change it.
Many years later, the advice seems so obvious now, but still entirely relevant – not only to me and other business leaders, but for all members of a workplace.
Sure leaders drive a workplace culture, but all participants shape it. So if you want to smile more and live in, or lead, a more positive workplace environment here’s some advice on how to make yourself and others happier.
Great piece Ava. Lots of sound advice. Thank you for sharing.
Couldn’t agree with you more, Ava – thanks for a terrific post. Especially the importance of connecting everyone to a sense of purpose.
