This email is from The Fun Standard mailing list, sent out only once a year, making it the lowest volume regular mailing list on the Internet. You are on this list because we have exchanged email about The Fun Standard. There are standards to describe all sorts of processes in all kinds of organizations all over the world. These processes preserve best practices and prevent the wasteful reinvention of excellence, but they can't create success by themselves. People must also enjoy their work to be productive.
Maximum productivity is obtained by having fun.
This standard collects activities that help organizations have fun. Consisting of animation, bliss, buoyancy, cheer, chuckles, delight, ecstasy, gladness, happiness, jests, jokes, joviality, joy, laughter, light-heartedness, merriment, mirth, play, pleasantries, quips, rapture, sport, tranquillity, and witticism. The organization shall be predisposed to mutual cooperation, trust, communication, and goodwill. Never ask for something they don't need, never promise results they know can't be delivered, write down and do anything they say they'll do, and provide notification as far in advance as possible when circumstances prevent fulfillment of their commitment. Ensure that jerks and meanies are counseled, and, if unresponsive, allocated to a peripheral group where they can't damage the rest of the organization and have to work exclusively with each other until reformed.
