Do you have a great working environment?
What does it sound like?
What does it feel like?
Does it make the day enjoyable? Even on the stressful days?
If visitors strolled through, what vibes would they get?
Do your coworkers celebrate successes?
And do they readily jump in to help when they see you struggling?
Let me tell you about the back room 5’s environment.
Noisy.
Laughter.
Outbursts.
Teasing.
Food frenzies.
Supportive.
Honest.
Open.
Sharing.
Thoughtful.
Respecting and celebrating differences.
Dedicated to doing the best they can do.
An unlikely group of 5, brought together by a seating arrangement.
They see the best and the worst of one another.
They agree to disagree.
And even on the most difficult days, they wouldn’t change a thing,
An extended family of 5 of the most unusual people, who click and love each other.
Now, if only Pat would shut up.
