The Boston Bruins Get WorkHappy.

Organizations need to learn from sports teams how to work happy.
Twelve months after losing four straight games to the New York Islanders, their coach Glen Slather kept the team on the ice to witness the Islanders hoist Lord Stanley's Cup. The team was discouraged, tired, spent, beat up, and nowhere near happy.
When asked by a reporter why he kept his team on the ice to witness the opposing team celebrate winning the Cup, his reply surprised most people.
He wanted his team to see how happy their opponents were about reaching their goal of winning the championship. He wanted them to see what it took to work together, even harder, communicate, and rely on each other to reach their goal.
When we #workhappy, we are more productive, more creative, communicate better, and form bonds that can last a lifetime.
Sports teams are great at working together.
The video below shows how the Boston Bruins #workhappy by celebrating their equipment trainer, who spent 1,000 games, serving the team and making sure each member is ready for every practice and game.
We can all learn from our favourite sports teams. When we set our goals, work hard, communicate, and celebrate, we are working happy.
When teams win, we make more money, we have better mental health, and get to spend more time with our families with a happy heart.
How are you going to celebrate your teammates today?
I challenge you to have a #workhappy mindset today and reach your goals with a smile on your face.

1 年I love the "when teams win we make more money." We recently introduced a tip pool for our laundry crew and they get a sizable bonus every quarter. This quarter's tips were up by 17%!

1 年Great article Greg Kettner - WorkHappy? ?? Always look at what winning teams are doing and how that can be applied to your own team. Sometimes just defining what a “win” is can be a win!

1 年I've seen people get a little crusty towards others who are clearly having fun, Greg. It comes packaged as, "Seems a bit much for this event/room/space." "They're having too much fun." "Must be nice to have so little work to do." It's so much easier to think, "I don't know what they're up do, but looks like they're enjoying it!" It doesn't take excess energy to enjoy joy.
