I have lived by the motto, Find something you love to do, and you will never have to work a day in your life. The Fun Minute Manager takes that concept to a whole new level in showing the boss how to help employees love what they do and enjoy going to work.

Successful organizations have a clear vision of where they are headed. They understand what business they are really in. And, most importantly, they develop a culture that supports the vision and business, just as Southwest Airlines did.

The Fun Minute Manager endorses that concept and gives you a flight plan on how to build a fun, productive and profitable culture. --Howard Putnam, former CEO of Southwest Airlines, author, speaker
