This week we discuss how to separate roles and souls. For many people their job is a core aspect of their identity. It’s “what they do”, and as Aristotle said… we are what we repeatedly do.

Often in the workplace a person and the role they perform are inseparable in the minds of their colleagues. But this merging of identities causes problems.

To avoid those problems you must separate roles and souls. How to do that is exactly what we’re going to discuss, as well as…

* Whether a company is a mechanism or an organism

* When Harry met Sally in the office

* Jesse Eisenberg’s advice for hiring managers

* The price we all pay by punching in and out

* Finding peace with your spirit animal

* And more
