Everyone wants their employees to be passionate about their work – that won’t happen on its own. Even if you have the best employees. A manager, like the quarterback on a football team, must call and run the plays. They’re the ones everyone looks to. It’s a full-time, full-contact job. If your manager is enthusiastic about being at work with you – that sets the tone. If they’re inspired and inspiring – they’ll be focused on getting you going. They’ve got to be motivated – not waiting for someone else because they must motivate you. And they must be curious about the possibilities and creative enough to accomplish them. I know from experience that they also have a mountain of administrative responsibilities and most likely must attend too many meetings. So, when they’re on the floor, running the floor, pay close attention: listen carefully, ask questions, have a plan, then get a move on. Because that’s your cue to be enthusiastic, inspired, motivated and curious/creative back at them. And at your products, services, and customers. Be enthusiastic today.
