Jason Fried: Why work doesn’t happen at work
Jason Fried
has a radical theory of working: that the office isn't a good place to do it.
He calls out the two main offenders (call them the M&Ms) and offers three
suggestions to make the workplace actually work.
Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action
Simon Sinek
has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership — starting with a
golden circle and the question "Why?" His examples include Apple,
Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers ...
Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work
We believe we should work hard in order to be happy, but
could we be thinking about things backwards? In this fast-moving and very funny
talk, psychologist Shawn Achor argues that, actually, happiness inspires us to
be more productive.
Margaret Heffernan: Forget the pecking order at work
Organizations are often run according to "the
superchicken model," where the value is placed on star employees who
outperform others. And yet, this isn't what drives the most high-achieving
teams. Business leader Margaret Heffernan observes that it is social cohesion —
built every coffee break, every time one team member asks another for help —
that leads over time to great results. It's a radical rethink of what drives us
to do our best work, and what it means to be a leader. Because as Heffernan
points out: "Companies don't have ideas. Only people do."
Roselinde Torres: What it takes to be a great leader
The world is full of leadership programs, but the best
way to learn how to lead might be right under your nose. In this clear, candid
talk, Roselinde Torres describes 25 years observing truly great leaders at
work, and shares the three simple but crucial questions would-be company chiefs
need to ask to thrive in the future.
Dan Pink:
The puzzle of motivation
Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of
motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers
don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for
illuminating stories — and maybe, a way forward.
Regina Hartley: Why the best hire might not have the perfect resume
Given the choice between a job candidate with a perfect
resume and one who has fought through difficulty, human resources executive
Regina Hartley always gives the "Scrapper" a chance. As someone who
grew up with adversity, Hartley knows that those who flourish in the darkest of
spaces are empowered with the grit to persist in an ever-changing workplace.
"Choose the underestimated contender, whose secret weapons are passion and
purpose," she says. "Hire the Scrapper."
Tom Wujec:
Build a tower, build a team
Tom Wujec presents some surprisingly deep research into
the "marshmallow problem" — a simple team-building exercise that
involves dry spaghetti, one yard of tape and a marshmallow. Who can build the
tallest tower with these ingredients? And why does a surprising group always
beat the average?
Barry Schwartz: The way we think about work is broken
What makes work satisfying? Apart from a paycheck, there
are intangible values that, Barry Schwartz suggests, our current way of
thinking about work simply ignores. It's time to stop thinking of workers as
cogs on a wheel.
Ricardo Semler: How to run a company with (almost) no rules
What if your job didn’t control your life? Brazilian CEO
Ricardo Semler practices a radical form of corporate democracy, rethinking
everything from board meetings to how workers report their vacation days (they
don’t have to). It’s a vision that rewards the wisdom of workers, promotes
work-life balance — and leads to some deep insight on what work, and life, is
really all about. Bonus question: What if schools were like this too?
