Interview with Jessica Pryce-Jones author of Happiness at Work: Maximizing Your Psychological Capital for Success
_______________________
Mike Carruthers:
More and more employers are spending time and effort on making sure their employees are happy.
Jessica Pryce-Jones:
The reason that organizations are interested in happiness at work is because people who are happiest at work are doing a day and a quarter extra per week in terms of effort. So you are getting sixty days a year out of your most happy employees.

Interview with Jessica Pryce-Jones author of Happiness at Work: Maximizing Your Psychological Capital for Success
_______________________
Mike Carruthers:
Just how happy and content you are at work is determined by several factors.
Jessica Pryce-Jones:
It looks to be about 50% of your happiness comes with who you are. 10-15% comes with the context that you find yourself in – but 35-40% comes from how you manage that context.

Interview with Terry R. Bacon, author of the book What People Want: A Manager's Guide to Building Relationships That Work
_______________
Mike Carruthers:
A lot of managers are lousy at their job and the process of promoting managers is a big part of the problem.
Terry Bacon:
A lot of managers are promoted because they're very good technically at what they do. And they're so good technically, they're promoted into positions of management, often without having a real aptitude for people and usually without any real good training on how to manage people.

Interview with Mark Goulston author of Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone
_________________
Mike Carruthers:
Listening may be one of the best and underutilized ways to really connect with someone.
Mark Goulston:
I think a key prerequisite though is you actually have to care about other people as opposed to just try to maneuver them to do a deal.

Interview with Omar Kahn, author of Liberating Passion: How the World's Best Global Leaders Produce Winning Results
______________
Mike Carruthers:
Passion in the workplace - a lot is written about that subject as if it was a rare commodity and yet…
Omar Kahn:
When people are hired they're pretty passionate - it's part of what gets them hired. And then companies would say to me, "Give them a few months with us we'll suck the passion right out of them."

What really makes people happy at work?
Roxanne Emmerich:
There's interesting research on this that shows that happiness at work has to do with creating massive results - people feel good about themselves when they know that they've kicked some butt and took some names and that they're making good things happen.
