How to be happy at work
These random thoughts on perception of work are interrelated. Before hacking away at your tools- be it a laptop or any machine, prepare your mind for you want to achieve today, your team and opportunities.
1. Here's the big thought of the day- A leader should be more preoccupied with developing a larger, long-term vision and laying out plans to realise them. The execution can be left to team members. Go for the larger things and the smaller stuff will follow. But if there is no vision, then you have the 'leader' micro-managing, lifting ideas from sundry sources and in the process, making a hash of efforts. We end up working out numerous options that go nowhere and finally, robbing the team of the satisfaction of doing anything.
2. Do different things with different people. That way, the failure of one project is less disappointing or when closure or appreciation does not come in. But when you are at it, do it wholeheartedly. Do your best and let it go.
3. Collaborate with team members for large projects. Trust talented people and let them do things. There will be more support and willingness to innovate and execute.
4. Try to complete as much as you can, in your 8 hours. Faf around the least.
5. Do not sit for too long at your desk. Take a break, walk up to colleagues and chat up.
6. Do not hold things against people when things do not work out. That is a huge waste of energy.
7. In your spare time, do creative stuff, however pointless.
8. Today's experiments become tomorrow's expectations. Play with possibilities even if others shoot it down.
9. A team member who is passionate about wanting to do something is a goldmine. Get out of their way and let them do it.
10. Hear out people when they come to you with a 'dumb' idea. You could turn it into something brilliant by collaborating with them.
