Toil and Fun

Inc.com features an article about the "8 Core Beliefs of Extraordinary Bosses."  of course, dash9 will read such an article given how extraordinary a boss that he is.  dash9 agrees with the advice from this article.  for example:

"Work should be fun, not mere toil.
 Average bosses buy into the notion that work is, at best, a necessary evil. They fully expect employees to resent having to work, and therefore tend to subconsciously define themselves as oppressors and their employees as victims. Everyone then behaves accordingly.

Extraordinary bosses see work as something that should be inherently enjoyable–and believe therefore that the most important job of manager is, as far as possible, to put people in jobs that can and will make them truly happy."

dash9 could not agree more.  he ensures that all of his subordinates see their work as toil and view it as evil (the "necessary" part is unnecessary).  this, in turn, makes work very fun for dash9.
