How can we make work more enjoyable, so that we look forward to showing up? You may think that putting a ping-pong table in the office will solve this problem, but it’s not that simple. Lindsay McGregor has done the research and with her colleague Neel Doshi, has co-written a book, Primed to Perform: How to Build the Highest Performing Cultures Through the Science of Total Motivation. Find out why a hands-off leadership approach might not be effective, why what works for Facebook or Google won’t necessarily work for your company, and how can you become a firestarter leader.
