Ep. 725: Richard Sheridan Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Jan 04, 2019

Show notes

My guest today is Richard Sheridan, the founder of Menlo Innovations and author of "Joy, Inc." and "Chief Joy Officer." He shares an inspirational guide for those seeking joy in the challenge of leading others and pushes readers to think, act and lead different. Too many live in quiet desperation. It's Richard's mission to bring those people out of those lives and thrive in whatever workplace they are in. Before Menlo Richard was in a job that by all definitions he should have loved. He was creating art and making a real impact in people's lives, however he was not happy. He realized he had created a culture where nobody at his company could make a move without his approval. He knew the company could not move forward any faster than him. Shedding the "smartest guy in the room image" was an important part of culture Richard wanted to instill wherever he went next.

The topics are his books Joy, Inc.: How We Built a Workplace People Love and Chief Joy Officer: How Great Leaders Elevate Human Energy and Eliminate Fear.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Extreme programming
Running experiments
Trusting your team
