Don’t forget to smile.
This may sound a bit ridiculous, but next time you glance in the mirror, try out your smile. The more you smile and laugh, the more your employees will, too. Come on, grouchy-pants, it’s not so tough. We all like to be around fun people, and your employees will like you a lot more if you are smiling and laughing instead of grimacing and frowning.
Attitude matters—and it’s contagious. Just like a yawn will trigger others to follow suit, smiles make people smile. Start a trend at work, a trend of happy people.
