Why We Must See Work as Play

In this episode of How People Work, Jordan and Jason explore the ways to think differently about work, incorporating happiness and play. The hosts start by talking about their childhood aspirations and how most kids want to play games as their career. The conversation between Jason and Jordan revolves around the complexity of life as one grows older and the need for rules to guide one's actions. They discuss how children have a script to follow, and boundaries are well defined. However, as one grows older, the rules become less defined, and one may not know what is expected of them. There are unwritten rules in work culture that are confusing, and people may not know how to navigate them. They suggest that it is essential to have a mutual aim and agreed-upon rules to play by, which makes the game of work fun. Key ideas and highlights: When asked what they want to be when they grow up, most kids answers involve some form of play. Why do we lose that? There are unwritten rules at work that are confusing; good leaders write out the “How to Win” section. Having a clear mission, vision, values, or rule book gives people peace and clarity.
