Summary

Work sucks less when we realize unity does not require uniformity. A cohesive culture means everything at work. But it doesn’t mean everyone needs to show up in the same way. In fact, it’s way better when we don’t. A shared mission? Yes. And the only way to achieve it is if you invite everyone to bring the stuff that makes them interesting to the table. Neil Ghosh has made it his mission to help make this approach a reality. He’s written a book called “Do More Good” and he’s speaking to folks around the world about it. One idea I really love—in addition to rewarding performance at work, let’s reward “decency.” The people who do the right thing, are a delight to work with, make things easier, own their mistakes, support folks who are struggling. The core value under all of this? Inclusion. Giving more people more pathways to be seen and valued. And helping teams bring out the best in everyone. We do all that, we get more done and those big hairy missions that usually just sit gathering dust on company websites become living, breathing invitations to make an actual difference in the world. Sounds pretty good to me. — Welcome to the DesuckifyWork® podcast. The show where we cut through the BS and find ways to make work more fun, more human and less ridiculous.
