Let's quickly rewind two weeks in time. I was on the phone with one of our Inbound Marketing clients, who just so happens to be a friend, a client, and a mentor. Through our discussions, he informed me about the book, FISH A REMARKABLE WAY TO BOOST MORALE AND IMPROVE RESULTS.
The book is a quick read, and its' messaging is simple, but inspirational. Certainly, the book can be read by anyone in any field. Without going into too much detail, the book causes you to think about how to make a difference, how to make work fun and how to motivate the entire company toward success. A theme and topic that hits close to home for me, as our young agency is growing rather rapidly.
The setting of this book takes place in The Pike Place Market in Seattle. Ironically,I had the opportunity to visit the Fish Market with my family last week. As I witnessed the "throwing of the fish" in person, I kept thinking back to my discussions with our client, Xonicwave. This experience, combined with the reading of the book, has given me a fresh and reenergized perspective on our team at BlinkJar Media.
Developing a culture of openness, transparency, happiness, and efficiency is the goal of our agency. While we certainly had our share of bumps in the road, I feel we are well on our way to developing a culture where our team of Inbound Marketers are not only effective, but HAPPY.
Culture does not just happen. It takes time and effort. Today, our team will be meeting together as a team of four. We are meeting as a new team in a new office, so there is so much to be thankful for at BlinkJar Media. Without clients, like Xonicwave, none of this would be possible, and we cannot wait to get started.
How is the culture inside of your organization? Do you believe the culture of a company is directly related to the happiness of its employees? We want to hear from you.
