Like a coach,
Make sure your team
Works hard and plays hard
And is excited to come to every game.
Like a team,
Put your hands together
Shout as you count to three
And passionately break out of the huddle.
Your job is doing whatever it is you’re doing – at work, home, in your community, with passion. Whatever it is, you must show up and do it – no matter what. Whoever you are, there are expectations. It could be hot or cold, sunny, or raining, early, or late – no matter, be there and do your best. With purpose. And passion. Because you can control that. So many people think their presence at work doesn’t matter, but it does. Being there can make a difference. Pulling your weight so others won’t have to do extra; adding your experience so others have a role model; complementing other’s work like lending your voice to theirs in a choir. Somehow, this message must be conveyed to employees everywhere – absenteeism is something that can be controlled and, like I’ve said here before, managers should support that by creating an atmosphere where employees are passionate about coming to work because it’s rewarding and fulfilling. Because they’re needed and appreciated. Because what they do is recognized. Because someone says good morning, goodbye, and thank. Because it takes two to tango. And it all starts by showing up. Go to work and light up the place with your presence today.
Tituss Burgess (born 1979): American actor (the Netflix comedy series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and singer.
