Welcome to The Happy Manager


  • Want to be happier?
  • Want to be a better manager?
  • Want to manage a happier workplace?
  • Then you've come to the right place.......

This site is a resource for those who wish to become happier at work, and for those who are already well on their way. It's packed with free information and tools, all designed to help you find happiness in the workplace and in life.


group of people

How many of us are really happy at work? Not many at all, according to survey after survey.
Do you recognise any of these?

  • stress
  • isolation
  • overwork
  • long hours
  • unfair criticism
  • difficulties with productivity
  • demands to achieve more with less
  • ever increasing workloads and targets
  • feeling under-valued or under-rewarded
  • a struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance
  • limited chances for self or professional development

Surely work should be about more than these, and it can be. We can all enjoy satisfying, challenging, rewarding work, whilst living rounded, meaningful lives. Many people are already, in happy workplaces around the world, guided by enlightened leaders. Are you one? Do you want to become one?

As John Ruskin said: "In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed": They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.
