Culture Leadership Charge – Best. Day. Ever.

When was your best day ever?

I had a wonderful opportunity a few weeks ago to see a program by Steve Spangler, the science guy. Steve is a hall of fame speaker and Emmy winner. He opened his presentation by sharing the reactions of a third grader back when Steve was first teaching.

When Steve was hired as an elementary school science teacher, he learned they had no space for him. No room. So he put all of his gear onto a wobbly AV cart and rolled his “kit” to classrooms on campus throughout the week. Steve immersed kids in science.

This particular week Steve’s lesson plan included walking barefoot on glass, exploding trash cans, and spitting model volcanoes. The third grader rushed home to tell her parents all about the science stuff. She talked for 10 straight minutes about all the cool stuff that happened. When her Dad asked her, “so overall, how was it?” She said, “Best. Day. Ever.”

Best. Day. Ever. How many of your employees would refer to today, at work, with you and your colleagues, as their ‘best day ever’? Would they say that ANY day at work is their “best day ever”?

In today’s three-minute episode of my Culture Leadership Charge video series, I share how great bosses create workplaces that are purposeful, positive, and productive for all employees.

My Culture Leadership Charge series features short (two-to-three-minute) videos that describe proven culture leadership and servant leadership practices that boost engagement, service, and results across your work teams, departments, regions, and even your entire company.

Each episode’s “charge” is a challenge for everyone in your organization – not just leaders – to refine their behaviors and ensure everyone is treated respectfully at all times.
