The founder of Menlo Innovations and author of the business culture
cult classic Joy, Inc offers an inspirational guide to leaders
seeking joy in the challenge of leading others. Rich Sheridan's
Joy, Inc. told the story of how his tiny software company in Ann
Arbor, Michigan achieved success and renown by embracing offbeat
culture and human-centered values. In Chief Joy Officer, he turns
his attention from culture to leadership, and draws on his
experience running Menlo and consulting elsewhere to offer a wise,
provocative guide on how anyone can build leadership capacity for
joy within their own organization. Chief Joy Officer offers sage,
hard-won advice to any manager or leader who yearns to make more of
an impact on the lives of others, including: * Self-understanding
is the cornerstone for every virtue of leadership: authenticity,
trust, humility, and optimism. * Good leaders make more leaders:
Learn to judge your performance not on whether people are doing
what they're told, but whether they're developing independent
leadership capacity. * Influencing up is just as important is
influencing down: how to encourage different thinking in those
above you in your organizations. Filled with colorful anecdotes
from Sheridan's personal journey and wisdom from many leadership
mentors, Chief Joy Officer offers an approachable, down-to-earth
philosophy and practice that will help even the most disillusioned
of middle managers bring a renewed sense of purpose to their work
building others.
'His Comic Muse does not go about prying into obscure corners, or collecting idle curiosities, but shows her laughing face, and points to her rich treasure - the follies of mankind' Thus wrote William Hazlitt of Sheridan, whom he thought shone 'like Hesperus' among the comic writers of the eighteenth century. As a playwright Sheridan had a brief but brilliant career, and between the ages of twenty-four and twenty-eight he wrote two of the funniest plays in our literature, The Rivals and The School for Scandal, and a wonderful farce, The Critic. Ingenious plots, agile and eloquent wit, and an unerring eye for the comic situation characterize Sheridan's drama. Never an insistent moralist, he delighted in deflating hypocrisy and in satirizing the manners of his age. As Eric Ramp writes in the Introduction, while Sheridan was no great innovator, 'the three comedies by which he is now known are in many ways the best that Georgian theatre has to offer and they are comedies which, over the last two hundred years, have added much, as Dr Johnson said about Garrick, to "the gaiety of nations"'.
