and air-conditioned suites and puts them outside.
It may not be groundbreaking, but it just might
be the one move that makes employees happier—
and healthier.

Imagine reporting to someone in a leadership role and suddenly it dawns on you: This person just isn't cut out to be a leader.
This is a thought that runs through the minds of employees every day—perhaps yours? Truth is, people are promoted into leadership positions for all the wrong reasons. Many have no business being in such privileged roles.
And many others, at their core, don't really want to be there but remain in the role because they want the status, positional authority, pay, or perks that come with it.
