How to organize humans effectively in an organisation?
Richard Sheridan
CEO and Chief Storyteller at Menlo Innovations
About Richard
Richard Sheridan is a co-founder, CEO, and "Chief Storyteller" of Menlo Innovations, a software and IT consulting firm that has received multiple awards and news coverage for its innovative and positive working culture.
Richard, the CEO of Menlo Innovations, became disillusioned in the course of his career in the tumultuous technology world. He was consumed by a single thought: things could be better. Much, much better. He had to figure something out. Why can't a workplace be brimming with friendship, human vitality, creativity, and efficiency?
Rich co-founded Menlo Innovations in 2001 with the goal of putting an end to workplace hardship. Rich's passion for building happy workplaces inspired him to write Joy, Inc.: How We Built a Workplace People Love, which became a best-selling and generally acclaimed book. His second book, Chief Joy Officer, proves that a pleasant and engaging leadership style is genuinely beneficial to a company's bottom line.
