I talk to Bruce Daisley, ex-Twitter EMEA boss, bestselling author and host of Apple’s #1 business podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat. This episode was a little bit different to what you’ll discover in the rest of this season of Talent Keeping (where my guests and I have a conversation about one brilliant boss and three of the behaviours that make her/him remarkable). Bruce and I talk about bad bosses; the future of work after social distancing; why Jurgen Klopp (manager of Liverpool football club) might be worth cloning (don’t be put off by the word football – we’re not actually talking football); creating a caring work culture; how teams can help shape a better boss above them and Bruce’s three favourite episodes of Eat Sleep Work Repeat (Zaynep Ton, Pippa Grange and Emma Cohen). It’s a great conversation with a man who’s had more contact with people who know about creating happy, productive workplaces than anyone else I can think of.
