The Case for Joyful Leadership

On Tuesday, October 29, we'll visit Menlo Innovations, renowned for its innovative workplace culture and software development.

Richard Sheridan co-founded Menlo Innovations, believing in creating joyful work environments. He co-founded Menlo Innovations to escape from a toxic company and build a workplace designed around the needs of workers and their families.

Today, Menlo Innovations exemplifies a joyful workplace, utilizing groundbreaking self-organization structures and ranking among the best software development firms globally.

During our visit, we'll hear directly from Richard Sheridan, who will share insights into Menlo Innovations' distinctive methodologies, including:

  • Joyful Leadership: Creating an environment where joy, creativity, and productivity thrive.
     
  • Collaborative Culture: Unique practices like paired programming and open, team-based workspaces fostering innovation.
     
  • Sustainable Growth: How a joyful culture drives business success and employee well-being.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a leading voice in joyful leadership and engage with fellow members dedicated to making a positive impact.
