Is Work Working? A Remarkable Conversation with Seth Godin: A Pickup from the Remarkable Retail #podcast

In this pickup from my Remarkable Retail #podcast with Steve Dennis, America's No.1  retail industry podcast, renowned author, entrepreneur, and leadership teacher, Seth Godin returns to the podcast to discuss his incredibly timely and urgent new book:The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams. In a wide-ranging interview Seth challenges us to re-think the nature of work, asking are we going to engage in a race to the bottom, or a race to the top where the work we do is rich with meaning and purpose? In unpacking Seth's most personal work yet, we go deep on some big, important questions including: Why do bosses care where we work, why do we get so attached to false proxies, and what should meetings actually be for? Ultimately, we explore what leaders must do to re-imagine work for an entirely new era.About Seth GodinSeth Godin is the author of 21 international bestsellers that have changed the way people think about work.
