What Makes People Work Better and Harder and Stay Onboard Longer . . . In a recent article in Harvard Business Review, entitled, “Designing Work That People Love,” author Marcus Buckingham proposes that, “Creating a place where all people can find love in their work means incorporating three principles: People are the point. Employees are the most important stakeholders in your organization. One size fits one. Each of your employees is a unique person with distinct loves, interests, and skills. In trust we grow. For employees to discover and contribute their loves at work, leaders must explicitly make trust the foundation of all practices and policies.” In this period of a critical Montessori teacher shortage, unprecedented turnover, and challenges with retention (especially among Assistants) there are ways to make the everyday work life of your faculty and staff more meaningful, more energizing, and more engaging. Join Jonathan Wolff for a discussion on what makes people love their work, work better and harder, and stay with you longer.
