Build a Workplace Early Educators Love – Just add Joy, by Rich Sheridan

This session is sponsored by the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership.

In this powerful and innovative webinar, Richard Sheridan, Author of Joy Inc., will help you learn to create an intentional team culture focused on the business value of joy and unleash the human energy and the results you always knew were possible. The webinar will explore what an intentionally joyful culture must choose as its focus. I will discuss what joy looks like, feels like, how it is organized. Along the way, you will be confronted by paradoxical approaches of how workplace noise increases productivity, how two people at one computer outperforms hero-based organizations 10-to-1, how rigor and discipline emanate from a shared-belief system, how transparency conquers fear, how all of the disciplines you study including agile, lean, and six sigma when done well are really about building human relationships at the intersections of business and technology, between project management and software development, between development and design and how quality can be a natural result of a team built on trust. This is not a theoretical talk, but rather a talk built from well over a decade of experience of leading a team focused on "the business value of joy".
