Today we are joined by Jody Thompson a true advocate and activist for making work better. With her bestseller books “Why work sucks-and how to fix it” and “Why management sucks- and how to fix that too” she has helped many people and hundreds of organizations around the globe to re-think the term work and actually how to get the work done. I love her crystal clear way of communicating and her commitment to helping business leaders to focus only on results forgetting about all the nonsense bullshit that is surrounding us day in day out.
