So I invited Mitch Gaspard, the University of Alabama baseball coach, to lunch with my department's leadership so he could share some thoughts about how he goes about working with players and motivating their performance. One of the thoughts he shared about what leaders can do: There's no reason why the workplace shouldn't be enjoyable. Reminded me of the book Joy at Work by Dennis Bakke. The book is worth reading and will give you a radical perspective about work. What you do in the workplace is in fact part of your calling in life.
