I once worked at a place where employees in our group had such a good time at work that it really didn't seem like work at all. Now mind you all team goals were achieved, all deadlines met, and all clients were
ecstatic. However, the work culture and chemistry of our group created a dynamic environment where we all were happy to do our jobs.
- Teams were not micromanaged
- Self development was embraced
- Individuals set their own work schedules within a set of core hours
- Time lines were realistic
- Creativity and new ideas were embraced
Even if we disagreed with one another, there was a willingness to listen. We all knew that in the end the quality of the work was what mattered. Sadly, once our government project was delivered most of the group's employees were moved to new projects, moved to new companies, or fell to the downsizing axe that is so
prevalent these days. However, the picture is
reminiscent of the good times.
