My favorite excerpts from “The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy, Engagement, and Creativity at Work” by Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer …
—> “Progress lives in the everyday, not just in quarterly reports or milestone checkpoints. And building a great organizational climate happens through everyday words and actions, not through a series of major one-time initiatives.”
—> “Business schools, business books, and managers themselves usually conceptualize management as managing organizations or managing people. But if you focus on daily progress in meaningful work, managing people and the entire organization will become much more feasible. You won’t have to figure out a way to X-ray subordinates’ inner work lives because, if you facilitate their steady progress in meaningful work, make that progress salient to them, and treat them well as people, they will experience the perceptions, emotions, and motivation necessary for great performance. Their superior work will contribute much to organizational success. In the bargain, they will be excited about their jobs.”
—> “One event at a time, you shape the climate from which your people take their cues.”
