At the end of the day, leadership is about people: the people we lead, the people we work alongside, the people we learn from, and the people we aspire to be.

Today we speak with Ian Walker, Senior Director of Leadership and Employee Development at Salesforce, about the people – and the experiences – that have shaped his career, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.

We also discuss the world of tech, the future of artificial intellegence, and some simple strategies for fostering happiness and fulfillment in the workplace.

Happiness means different things to each of us. After doing extensive research, Management 3.0 founder Jurgen Appelo discovered a common thread: Happiness is something we create. It is not something to achieve. It is a path you choose, not a destination to arrive at.

So many of us spend our lives in pursuit of happiness. Instead of searching for it, we need to find ways to live it, embrace it, and implement it into our daily lives. That's why we created the 12 Steps to Happiness at Management 3.0.

You can find more information and even download a free poster of the 12 Steps here.
