The Joy of Work Bruce Daisley
Event details
What are the lessons that psychology can teach us about fixing work? Elon Musk says we can't achieve anything on less than 80 hours work a week, but what does the evidence suggest?
In the course of a career at the helm of companies including Google, YouTube and Twitter, Bruce Daisley has become fascinated by the culture of the workplace. And in his hugely popular podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat, he has talked with leading experts about how best to make our jobs happier and more fulfilling.
Join Bruce for the inaugural Innovation Lecture as he shares the fruits of his discoveries. Ranging across all aspects of 21st-century office life, he’ll tackle the key questions and offer inspiration, empirically tested insight and down-to-earth practical answers in equal measure.
Are lunch breaks for wimps, or do they actually make us more productive? Is it true that you can improve team performance simply by moving the location of the kettle or coffee machine? And what is a Monk Mode Morning, and why do people swear by it?
Based on his book, The Joy of Work, Bruce will point the way to a life that is more fulfilling and a little less fraught.
This event will conclude with the final of the University's Business Challenge. Watch the pitches and help decide which of our two student finalists will become the 2019 champion.
