Aim Higher: The podcast with purpose
Business:Management
My guest for this episode of “Aim Higher” is Bruce Daisley, Twitter Vice President for Europe, Middle East and Africa. He joined the company in 2012 having previously run YouTube UK at Google. Bruce is the author of a terrific new book, “Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat: 30 Hacks for Bringing Joy to Your Job.” I also highly recommend his previous book, “The Joy of Work.” Bruce has so many good ideas about how we can get away from the toxic treadmill of “more hours = more productivity.” He calls that mindset a “superhighway to burnout.” Part of the problem, he says, comes from leaders themselves, who claim that their secret to success is working 60, 80 even 120 hours a week. That’s just not possible for most people… and is actually counterproductive for almost everyone. I hope you’ll listen as we discuss the importance of sleep, how the “default mind mode” of boredom and relaxation can be our best creativity booster, the importance of building teams from the ground-up, and how to get back to the “magical creative version of ourselves” that existed before work environments began demanding so much of our time.
