Tom Rath Time Quotations

On average, spending time with your boss is consistently rated as the least pleasurable activity in a given day.

If a school makes an effort to provide kids the right foods and help them to be more active, this benefits the student and the family's health. If you embark on a program to improve your health with a church or community group, you are more likely to stick with it over time.

It's unrealistic to expect the person you go to for sage advice also to be the person you go out and have a good time with. And it's unlikely that he or she will be the same person who's pushing you and motivating you to do more every day, like a coach or manager does.

The most important thing executives can do is send a very clear message to their employees that they care about each person's overall wellbeing and that they want to be a part of helping it improve over time.

The right choices over time greatly improve your odds of a long and healthy life.

When you ask people about what they enjoy doing, time spent with the boss is even worse than time spent cleaning the house. So this suggests that there are a lot of leaders out there who are not doing an adequate job.

You can intentionally choose to spend more time with the people you enjoy most and engage your strengths as much as possible.

From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to our shortcomings than to our strengths.
