Management Learning with the Agile Wire

I had a terrific conversation with the two Jeffs at the Agile Wire. See Modern Management Made Easy with Johanna Rothman for our recording.

We  touched on many topics in the Modern Management Made Easy books:

• The system of work
• How fast can managers learn?
• How managers can facilitate the work of others

and much more.

I got to talk about why happiness is the wrong measure for the work or the people. I said something like this:

“Happiness is a function of many things, not just how I feel about work. I want to optimize for work satisfaction.”

If you or your managers can focus on how to create satisfaction, people might become happy/happier at work—as an outcome.

Hope you enjoy our conversation about management learning at Modern Management Made Easy with Johanna Rothman.
