Why Work Sucks And How To Fix It Through Purpose with Cali Ressler
Greetings and welcome back to The DNA of Purpose Podcast, the place where we empower you to build trust, champion adaptability, and cultivate the courage to unleash your unique DNA of Purpose. Here, we provide the insights, tools, and mindset shifts essential for sparking conversations, leading teams, rallying communities, and influencing cultural shifts to steer humanity towards the innovative solutions shaping our future today.
Imagine the uncharted potential within your workforce, if their performance was no longer measured against hours worked or physical location, and is instead appraised through tangible, real-time results?
Now, take this concept even further. Imagine how empowered your people would be in pursuing their purpose at work if they were granted the autonomy to shape their work-life in a way that suits them?
Entrepreneurs frequently enjoy this kind of flexibility, and for many successful individuals among them, while hard work matters, their achievements are seldom dictated by the measurement of hours worked or their physical location.
Cali Ressler is an American author and consultant who has left an indelible mark on the world of work with her pioneering ideas in workplace flexibility and performance management. Today, she is a Director of Global Employee Experience for Accenture, and she is one of the co-founders of the groundbreaking Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) concept, which challenges the traditional norms of evaluating employees based on the number of hours worked and instead places a sharp focus on performance and results.
Cali co-authored the influential book "Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It," outlining the principles of ROWE and how it can revolutionize organizations, leading to improved productivity and enhanced employee satisfaction. Her body of work aligns perfectly with the changing landscape of work, echoing the themes of organizational change, business purpose, and innovative work models that we explore on this podcast.
As a testament to her influence, Cali was honored by Dan Pink in his book "Drive" as one of the six individuals who truly "get it," standing shoulder-to-shoulder with luminaries such as Peter Drucker, Jim Collins, and Gary Hamel. This recognition underscores the profound impact of her work on reshaping the future of work.
And so without any delay, please welcome Cali to The DNA Of Purpose Podcast.
