A Second Nail

Our time spent with Dr. Stephenson was well worth it.

Starting out as a Quantum Chemist and then changing to become a social anthropologist gives Dr. Stephenson a unique view on things. More importantly, she brings to the discussion of culture a scientific approach and viewpoints.

Are you concerned about how well your employees are involved and committed to your business? Have you ever wondered as a business owner or leader why other people in your organization aren't as concerned about your business as you are?

Keeping employees involved requires more than just giving them clear direction and good work. It also requires knowing them and being concerned about their well-being. And Gallup has done some excellent work on understanding well-being. Leaders and managers would do well to follow the ideas put forth by Gallup on understanding well-being. Below are the five elements of Gallup's Wellbeing Index:

  1. The first element is about how you occupy your time or simply liking what you do every day: your Career Wellbeing.
  2. The second element is about having strong relationships and love in your life: your Social Wellbeing.
  3. The third element is about effectively managing your economic life: your Financial Wellbeing.
  4. The fourth element is about having good health and enough energy to get things done on a daily basis: your Physical Wellbeing.
  5. The fifth element is about the sense of engagement you have with the area where you live: your Community Wellbeing.
