About The Fun Minute Manager

This site is a social networking site focused on workplace training tips. More specifically, having fun at work. This site was developed as an offspring to the Amazon.com best selling book, The Fun Minute Manager

The Fun Minute Manager, a simple, fictionalized story, provides an engaging tale in which Bob Workman discovers why fun at work is important; involves his employees in developing ideas for a fun workplace; and develops a systematic approach to measuring the workplace benefits of fun, among other things. This is an excerpt from the fable where Bob's team leaders start taking on the mantle of responsibility for enjoyment at work. "Let me take a whack at this," Thao said. "First," she added, "I will henceforth be known as the Funmeister. I'm an old Saturday Night Live fan and this title is at last mine. Now as far as my idea, I like the idea of getting twofers out of this. After all, aren't we supposed to be finding ways to make the work fun while also improving our productive efforts? My idea, then, is to use our customer letters to both lighten up what we do, and also learn from our customers at the same time. Let me give you an example that no one has seen, since management never shows customer complaint letters to anyone but the person who is affected. I think it's so funny that I don't mind sharing with you."
