In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Erin Meyer, a professor at INSEAD and the author of the book "No Rules Rules" which is all about the innovative culture at Netflix. In our conversation, Erin and I talked about the three pillars that make up Netflix's culture: talent density, candor, and freedom. We discussed how the company hires rockstars and pays them more to increase talent density, encourages candid feedback among employees to improve communication and decision-making, and removes traditional management controls like vacation and travel policies to give employees more freedom. We also talked about the challenges that come with creating such a culture, including how to balance transparency with confidentiality and how to maintain a sense of teamwork without job security. __________

In this second part of the interview with Jay Papasan, the New York Times bestselling author of The One Thing, we dive into a topic that's been on my mind lately - the importance of accountability and the danger of falling into a victim mentality. Jay shares his insights on how to avoid victim thinking and take ownership of your life and career. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our starting points and looking for areas where we still have control. This mindset shift can empower us to create our own future, rather than feeling helpless and at the mercy of our circumstances. __________

In this episode, I chat with Jay Papasan, co-author of "The One Thing", about productivity, time management, and personal development. We discuss how to identify your "one thing" and its importance for individuals and organizations. Here are some highlights: What I found really interesting about our conversation was the idea that passion can be a little bit deceptive. Jay argued that passion is fleeting and that what really matters is purpose. He suggested that if we pay attention to the decisions that make us happy, we can start to identify the things that truly matter to us and move towards achieving our self-actualization. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

Do you practice the powers of ten as a leader? A few years ago, I interviewed the CEO of IDEO, Tim Brown, and asked him about the characteristics and qualities leaders need to possess. He told me that one of the things he believes is most valuable for a leader is the idea of practicing the powers of 10. As a leader, you need to be able to both zoom in and zoom out. You need to be able to get involved in the micro when needed, but at the same time, you also need to be able to zoom out and see the big picture. Often, leaders are good at one or the other, or they're not good at either. But as a leader, you need to be good at both. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

It's no secret that mental health is crucial right now. But it's also a difficult resource for a lot of people to access. Even after you call your healthcare provider, it can take weeks before an appointment is available. The same thing is true inside of our organizations. If an employee is struggling with something and goes to their leader, the first thing a leader often does is try to deflect and push that employee to talk to somebody else. But the reality is that leaders are the frontline. They need to be the frontline when it comes to mental health. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

What is the impact of a great leader inside of your company? When you work for a great leader, you feel like you can do anything. In fact, a study by Zenger Folkman found that great leaders can double company profits. Not only does this help the employees, but it also helps your organization as a whole from a financial perspective. When you work for a great leader, their behaviors, attitudes, and values will spread inside your organization. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.
