#049 Get Happy With The Executive Happiness Coach – Jim Smith [Leadership Success Podcast]
Description
Sadly, Americans are some of the most unhappy people in the world. Unfortunately this extends to the workplace, where only 30% of employees feel engaged (happy).
Thankfully there are people out there like Jim Smith, The Executive Happiness Coach. Jim and I talked about happiness in the workplace and among leaders. You can get more from Jim here and here.
Amongst other things, Jim and I discussed:
- that you can, in fact, excel and achieve happiness in this crazy busy world
- why emotional intelligence is 3x more important than smarts, skills, etc. when determining leadership success
- how a significant portion of our happiness is a decision
- employee engagement is just a politically correct term for happiness
- just as crap rolls downhill, so does happiness (how is your happiness, leaders?)
- the detrimental effects of focusing on what is wrong with people instead of what is right
- why what you do is more important than what you say
- the core values shift from boomers to millenials and what leaders need to do about it
- the essence of happiness for any individual (this may surprise you!)
- an exercise you can do in 60 seconds to get a glimpse of real happiness
