How Do We Make This Fun?

Elon Musk makes a good point when it comes to creating a good work environment in the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy9y_YSpYxA (By the way, if you haven’t noticed, I’m a bit of a fan)

He poses the the question: “How do we make this fun?”

How do you make other people’s environments as fun as a video game?

I think making things fun and exciting would solve a lot of issues across a lot of businesses.

What are things people look forward to? The following is a partial list:

  1. Building interesting things
  2. Helping others
  3. Good food and drinks
  4. Going on fun adventures
  5. Meeting interesting people
  6. Learning interesting things
  7. Seeing positive progress

I think humans love challenges and being rewarded for overcoming challenges–maybe this is one of the secrets to the success of viral Facebook games. Obtaining a sense of achievement is a human desire.

Further,  I think most people want to accomplish something they can proud of and something substantial.
