What is Rich's definition of burnout?
Burnout is where you're there, but you're not there. You're at work in body
but not in mind.
Here are a few of the things you'll hear about in this episode:
* How a company that focuses on joy works
* How to avoid the cycle of overwork that leads to burnout
* Why you should look at systems rather than people when things go
wrong
About Rich:
Menlo Innovations CEO Richard Sheridan became disillusioned in the middle
of his career in the chaotic technology industry. He had an all-consuming
thought: things can be better. Much better. He had to find a way. Why
couldn't a workplace be filled with camaraderie, human energy, creativity,
and productivity?
Ultimately, Rich co-founded Menlo Innovations in 2001 to end human
suffering in the workplace. Menlo's unique approach to custom software
creation is so surprisingly different that 3,000 people a year travel from
around the world just to see how they do it.
