Happiness at Work

There are so many obstacles that can prevent us from being happy at work, from salaries and commutes to incompatible teams and weird smells from the break room kitchen.

But some of the most difficult challenges aren't external at all. We carry them with us from home, to the office, and back home again. These are intensely personal things like uncertainty, doubt, self-criticism, or the many varieties of fear.

Today we sit down with Lia Garvin, a renowned author, operations leader, and sought-after speaker who has worked with some of the most influential companies in tech, including Microsoft, Apple and Google.

Garvin joins host Elisa Tuijnder to discuss some unique approaches for moving beyond those internal obstacles, and using them as the foundation of a new, happier, and more satisfying career.

It's been called many things, but most famously, The Great Resignation. But however we refer to the massive shift away from traditional 9-5 office roles in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the result is the same. How we view work – and how we view ourselves as workers and managers – has been fundamentally changed. Forever. For leaders, it's not enough to adapt to these changes. We need to understand why they happened and what employees are trying to tell us. Today on the podcast, we're going to explore that shift together with Bonnie Low Kramen, dive into what it means for workplace satisfaction, and examine how leaders and employers can improve experiences for their workers in meaningful, lasting ways. Management 3.0 has many resources when it comes to new ways of working - maybe you would like to check out our Remote Teams module? Find all information at management30.com
