7 - Michael Bungay Stanier: Doing Great Work

10/16/17 • 59 min

Michael Bungay Stanier is obsessed with one particular distinction: the difference between good work and great work. Why do so many of us spend most of our time doing work that’s just okay when we could be doing work that is profound - work that "makes a dent in the universe"? Using neuroscience, personal stories and his trademark sense of humour, Michael teaches us how to do more great work, so that we can have more impact, express more of our genius and most importantly, have more fun. Michael Bungay Stanier is the founder of Box of Crayons, a company best known for teaching 10-minute coaching so that busy managers can build stronger teams and get better results. He has also written a number of books. His latest, the Wall Street Journal bestseller The Coaching Habit, has sold over a quarter of a million copies and been praised as one of the few business books that actually makes people laugh out loud.
