Ever Feel Like You Are Spinning Your Wheels?

It’s a feeling I know all too well.  I’m always struggling to get more done, and especially more of the important things that will move my business forward. So I was thrilled to interview Michael Bungay Stanier, Senior Partner of Box of Crayons and author of Do More Great Work.

In the interview we talk about:

* The barriers employees face in being able to do great work, and ideas for overcoming those barriers,

* How the challenges and success strategies differ in big bureaucratic organizations versus small, disorganized ones,

* Ways you can inspire co-workers and even your boss to do great work (and to let you do more of it).

When Good Work Goes Bad

Michael says there are three types of work:

* Bad Work. The soul-crushing, time wasting, drives-you-crazy work.

* Good Work. It is productive and gets things done, but it keeps you stuck in a comfortable rut.

* Great Work. The kind of work that gets you really excited. That has the potential to make a big difference.

Some good work has to be done, but if you want to do more great work, you need focus, courage and resilience. We discuss each of these in the interview.
