Podcast of the Week: Richard Sheridan and the Concept of Joy

Richard Sheridan’s attitude towards reducing if not eliminating needless suffering for his coworkers and clients is awe inspiring. Spend the time and listen to this interview with Michael Covel and then check out his books.

For anyone interested in culture and leadership, Sheridan has to be on your radar. Menlo Innovations may be small, but this is a special place as worthy of study as any of the bigger modern (and mostly tech) firms. If anything, for anyone who operates in a smaller organization, his work is that much more relevant due to those differences in scale. I’ve written about some of my favorite topics here and here. Don’t be like me and ignore this work because “joy” sounds like some cheesy, kool-aid, BS messaging. It’s not, give it a shot.
