YOUR BUSINESS AUTHORITY
Springfield, MO
Consider the difference between two employee groups.
Group A is driven, energetic, cheerful and hopeful. They believe in the company’s vision; they get engaged willingly and commit to getting outcomes for their team.
Group B lacks enthusiasm, complains quickly and blames management. They do the bare minimum to draw a paycheck. Their unhappy faces and words, along with their resistance to new ideas and change, make it clear that apathy, not enthusiasm, guides their attitude.
Enthusiasm often spreads among employees, but so does apathy. Apathy drains energy and drive. Treat your work or life to constant apathy, and it won’t be easy to find contentment. What’s more, when apathy spreads at work, it can set the tone for an entire team, department or even the whole company.
To work with passion, excitement and purpose requires a determined effort, and second, it requires the persistence to carry it into daily choices.
Anyone can lose some excitement for the work they do. Here are seven ways to reignite your enthusiasm.
The greatest workplace desire for any person is to be happy. It is not merely to go through the motions of our day, but to have fulfillment, joy, fun, rewarding relationships and achievements from our efforts.
Enthusiasm helps us experience happiness in our work, turn adversity into advantage, and experience success in what we do. Choose enthusiasm today.
