Why is that? Maybe the lack of motivation or simply becasue we are not living our passion, we haven't unlock our potential yet, we haven't train our talents to start living a fullfiling and a purposeful life. If you are living your passion there is a change that you will breath that special kind of air. Then you will have great, new and innovative ideas and a more profitable business. Happiness engender success and successful people are always happy! Yeah, it is in the air, but most of us are not breathing that special kind of air. Why is that?

Happy people do not make a complete team. You need the sceptics as well in order to make it work. I think a workplace full of only people like you would not be a very productive or inventive workplace. Sure, there'd be lots of ideas, but you wouldn't know which of the ideas that would hold water. In order to separate the good ideas from the happy and wild ideas, you need the sceptic.... I don't think you appreciate this fact enough in your reasoning. I think you’re too one sided, Kjerulf……

I've attended his New Reality presentation, and the key thing I pulled out of it is that, like any unexpected change in your life, there is a natural course that your feelings will follow (Betrayal -> Identity Crisis -> Denial -> Search for Solutions). This can apply equally to changes in the workplace. Obviously there is a different scale for smaller changes compared to larger changes, such as a company restructuring. The best way to manage the change is to understand where your feelings are at, and move towards the search for solutions as soon as you can... (before the next change comes) This really ties in with your post in as far as happy employees are going to feel less betrayal/crisis/denial than an employee that was already unhappy before the change arrived. A happy employee will move quicker to the search for solutions and get a good foothold on the change, and perhaps even stay a few steps ahead of the pace of change. As an employee: if you can master being happy at work, then you can also master the change process so that change is that bit less painful. As a company: if you grow and nurture a happy work environment, then you will be more competitive as you will adapt to change faster.

Just the amount of resources dedicated to resolving conflicts within the organization should be obvious to anyone. Gen Y'ers, especially are not going to be in a company or position where they are unhappy. There is nothing worse than having unhappy employees.

I can never understand why it is that the majority of the places I've worked don't take that into more consideration. So true.
