The Joy of Social Networks

In my post about the Agile Israel 2013 conference I mentioned Bob Marshal's keynote, and his principle of "Joy for All". I wanted to link it somewhere, but couldn't find more. So I found myself having the following twitter conversation with him:

    Did you ever blog of your "joy for all" guiding principle? I can't find reference to it as such

    I don’t think so, directly. You can find the roots of it in e.g. Rosenberg’s spirituality of NVC

    I’ll take it under advisement for a future blog post :)

    I'll stay tuned :)

Guess what?
Today, Bob posted: Hyper-joyful, quoting Ackoff, Seligman, Deming and Rosenberg to support his debate with the prevailing assumption that work isn't supposed to be fun. It's a call for focusing on Joy at work rather than productivity. A joyful environment underlies hyper-productive teams.
Culture trumps Process, right?

    Mmmh, his article is already a bit strange read. But I found this article

    http://www.lmmiller.com/blog/2013/02/18/corporate-culture/joy-at-work-happiness-and-performance-what-we-know-and-what-you-should-do/

    a much better read as it seems more profound. It is linked on Bob Marshall's article as a reference.

      Bob wrote a rather short one, in his own style. A great part of it is making those other profound thinkers more accessible. I hope you found value in it, if only as a link to the one you point out.
