Happy people are more productive because their work feeds their soul, not just the pocketbook. However, we\\u2019ve all meant unhappy people in the workplace who blame their unhappiness upon the boss or others and whose negativity can easily bring others around them down. Leaders should understand their role in creating a happy team, and it begins with curiosity. Be curious about what motivates each team member. Be curious of what they want to achieve in work. Your curiosity makes team members feel like you care, and from that caring you will develop a happy team who will move mountains. Gain the reputation of being the manager everyone wants to work for. Be happy and make those around you happy, too.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nConnect with Dr. McKee on Facebook and Twitter, and visit her website to learn more about her work and newest book, How to Be Happy at Work.\\xa0 You can check out her book on Amazon by clicking here.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nThe world's only floating green at The Coeur d'Alene Resort, Idaho\\n\\nLooking for a location for your next business conference, to spend time with someone you love, or to experience awesome golf?\\xa0 Check out The Coeur d'Alene Resort in Coeur d'Alene, ID.\\xa0 The staff and service are spectacular, and you will experience a game of golf like few others.\\xa0 You will also get to play on the world's only floating green.\\xa0 The Resort, golf, and the Coeur d'Alene area are beautiful venues to visit again and again.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nClick here to check out our newest leadership development tool \\u2013 LEAD \\u2013 Leadership Education and Development\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nSteve Caldwell is an executive mentor and coach to managers and leaders who desire to excel in their career and become the leader others want to follow.
