Any great project, team, ministry or organization is fun to work on. So find and build the areas that are fun! If we’re doing work that aligns with our purpose, and we’re doing it with good people, and we’re having an impact on the world around us: Hard projects can be fun. Repetitive tasks can be fun. Work can be fun where there is a great culture.

One of the highest indicators of happiness and purpose at work is how well people are connected with others. We must prioritize connections and relationships. Extroverts and introverts agree – they want to have good working relationships. If you want a great culture, you must create a culture of connection.

Everyone has an area, talent or ability where they are a genius. The more you release others to do that, the better your culture will be. Culture is hard to measure and name, but you will go a long way to build a great culture if you let people do as much work in their genius areas as possible and as little in the areas that drain them as possible.
