BUILD A WORKPLACE PEOPLE LOVE - JUST ADD JOY

Rich Sheridan

Menlo Innovations CEO, Rich Sheridan, had one thought during a difficult mid-career in the technology industry: ...things can be better -- much better! Ultimately, Rich and co-founder James Goebel invented Menlo Innovations in 2001 to “end human suffering in the world as it relates to technology.” Their unique company—which creates custom software--is so interesting that almost 4,000 people a year travel from around the world to see it. Rich is author of Joy, Inc. - How We Built a Workplace People Love. His second book, Chief Joy Officer, is due in December.

Rich will explore what an intentionally joyful work culture must choose as its focus. He will discuss what a joyful workplace looks and feels like, and how it is organized. You will see paradoxical approaches: How workplace noise increases productivity, how two people at one computer outperform hero-based organizations, how rigor and discipline emanate from a shared-belief system, how transparency conquers fear, and how quality can be a natural result of a team built on trust.

This is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Work. How Will Your Grandchildren Make a Living? The next lecture series will start February 14, 2019. The subject is: History of Comedy.
