Joy at Work: Finding Joy During Times of Change
We had a hunch: If you talk to leaders who are orchestrating major change inside their companies, joy will be easy to find. We were right. For this special episode, we talked to 4 marketing leaders, live at the ANA Masters of B2B conference. We heard about how they focus on purpose, how they practice servant leadership, how they figure out what’s working, and how they remember that life is short and work should be joyful.
