Show Notes

In today's episode:

  • Jessica and Culture Partners CEO Joe Terry discuss the origins of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Surrender to Lead⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, the book they co-authored that's coming out next year.
  • Many leaders confuse "culture" with "making people happy;" they throw pizza parties and happy hours, then wonder why they're not getting the necessary results.
  • Happiness is not in your control. A leader's job is to create an environment that's challenging, growth-oriented, and fulfilling. That's the best you can do.


CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results.
