    Most of our culture challenges at work exist because we don’t do the needed relationship work ... consistently.We’re all responsible for it. But, those in a leadership role have the power to make it much easier by modeling that needed relationship work and connecting more consistently with the people they work with.But it’s not happening enough and I'm not confident it ever will. Even so, we can put a big positive dent in it (you, me, the people we care about, even those we don't).It starts by Working Kindly. Here’s how.

How can we do a better job with love?I think it starts by getting rid of the eggshells and then understanding what really goes into loving people.These are the opening thoughts to my Love Your People booklet.

    “Work is love made visible.” - Kahlil GibranI love that thought. My 5 favorite consecutive words. How wonderful it would be if more of us approached our work with that in mind and reminded ourselves of it throughout the day.The words come from Kahlil Gibran’s short book of prose poetry called, ‘The Prophet.’ It was first published in 1923. In the book, a prophet named Almustafa is asked to share his wisdom on several topics.I’d like to share the 7th chapter with you. It’s called ‘On Work.’I hope it inspires you as much as it does me. If so, please share it with others.A more enjoyable day. That’s the goal.

    I’d like to share with you what I feel is the foundation to everything … the foundation to that more enjoyable day we all want and should have more of.I once was talking with a group of leaders, sharing the importance of those small, daily interpersonal moments we have with others … those several-times-a-day opportunities we have to better connect with other people.At the end of the talk someone said…“This is all great stuff. But when we get back to the office, how do we make sure we actually do it … every day?”I hope you find my answer valuable. If so, please share it with others.A more enjoyable day. That’s the goal.
