It's Your Job: Ownership at Work
INSPIRED BY JIMMY BUFFETT |
One of my favorite Jimmy Buffet songs is called, It's My Job.
In the song, he describes a street sweeper who comes whistling by, bouncing with every step. When the sweeper is asked why he sweeps, he replies, "It's my job to be cleaning up this mess and that's enough reason... for me." The last line of the song is, "It's my job to be better than the best and that makes the day for me."
Jimmy knows what pride in the work is all about. He knows that coming to work each day, in service to others, will boost job satisfaction. What are you doing to foster a sense of pride and ownership in your work?
Here are three tips for creating a work environment driven by passion, rather than obligation:
