    Summer Encore: How to Build an Award-Winning Culture with Michelle Hayward

    With many of us on a well-deserved summer break, I am sharing once more one of my favorite episodes of the last 12 months. Knowing how to nail down that purpose-driven workplace culture is quintessential to building more successful organisations with happier employees.  Happy listening & enjoy the summer of 2024!  Warmly,  Elisa  *** How can we create an innovative, positive, and productive workplace culture?

Learn more about Bluedog and Michelle here.  *** Happiness means different things to each of us. After doing extensive research, Management 3.0 founder Jurgen Appelo discovered a common thread: Happiness is something we create. It is not something to achieve. It is a path you choose, not a destination to arrive at. So many of us spend our lives in pursuit of happiness. Instead of searching for it, we need to find ways to live it, embrace it, and implement it into our daily lives. That's why we created the 12 Steps to Happiness at Management 3.0. You can find more information and even download a free poster of the 12 steps here. *** Find 'Happiness at Work' episode transcripts and search our entire catalog of episodes here.
