After reading following tip, I would say freedom to operate makes a big difference in how you enjoy work. Clarity on your goals/success and being empowered to pursue your goals will make a big difference.
One of my favorite quote when it comes to Management when rephrased will be like this: “Set realistic goals for your employees and then get out of their way”. I don’t remember the original quote.
Want to Be Happier at Work?
Take Ownership
A recent Gallup Healthways report showed that business owners outrank others in terms of overall well-being. And, autonomy, influence, and a sense of meaning are all associated with lower stress. If you need to find more joy at work, take on a new project that will improve your job, division, or workplace. While you may not have the same degree of freedom that an entrepreneur does, you can find ways to set the agenda and exert ownership over tasks and projects. This ownership will likely improve your job satisfaction while adding an important accomplishment to your resume.
