About this listen

“I can’t wait to get to work!” When was the last time you felt that way? Have you ever? Mark McClain has and still does. He and his leadership teams have focused on creating companies that make the quality of their employees’ work experiences of equal importance to the quality of the solutions those employees create.

With Joy and Success at Work, McClain has produced a manual that shares how he and his teams have done it and how you and your team can, too. Speaking directly to the lack of fulfillment that too often accompanies work, with generous portions of humor and irreverence, Mark McClain deconstructs the modern business environment, then puts it back together.

Shot through with pithy tales from his own experiences, Joy and Success at Work is Mark’s honest take on what team-building can be and, done right, what it produces: great places to work that support people’s broader lives, rather than sucking the life out of them.

Practical wisdom for entrepreneurs

If you are a founder starting a new company or you have been struggling with your startup for a while, do yourself a favor and listen to this audio book, it worths every minute of listening. The author passed through the same journey that most founders go through, yet not all founders achieve huge success at the same level as this author/founder did. This does not happen by accident.

I learned about this founder/author after I watched a very short interview with him on instagram, I searched to see if he wrote anything about how he managed the tough startup journey, then I found this book.

Some of the many ideas you might find valuable are the difference between passion and work and how many founders got confused about that, the importance of market research and how to identify what can be considered a pain point for your customers as a prerequisite to building a product, and to make sure you are not confusing your customer’s pain point with other things.

Another thing I found very useful throughout the whole book was his realistic practical way of viewing the world as it is not how it should be.

Practical way to create a culture

This was a great listen. Amazing life lessons and how to connect them to creating a company culture of Joy and Success just like the title. Treat others as you wish to be treated is really a competitive advantage. Glass Door ratings are proof that this works. My favorite lesson was, “the older I get the fewer convictions I have and the strong I hold onto the ones I know to be true.”
