What the World’s Best Workplaces Do Differently

Ron Friedman takes 3 minutes to talk about what the world’s best workplaces do differently

For years, we’ve been taught that being productive is a matter of effort. But the research tells us something different. You’ll discover why great workplaces reward failure and why smart managers aim to complicate rather than simplify their employees’ lives. By the end of this auspicious presentation, you will do more than imagine the workplace you want. You’ll learn how to achieve high employee engagement and inject unprecedented productivity into the soul of your organization.

Ron Friedman, Ph.D., is an award-winning social psychologist who specializes in human motivation.

His new book, The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace, has been described as “stunning,” “eye-opening,” and “a contemporary classic,” and praised by best-selling authors Daniel Pink, David Allen, Marshall Goldsmith, Susan Cain, and Adam Grant.

Dr. Friedman has served on the faculty of the University of Rochester, Nazareth College, and Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and has consulted for Fortune 500 companies, political leaders, and the world’s leading non-profits.
