Let's fix work before it breaks us.
Work isn’t broken because people are lazy — it’s broken because the system sucks.
Today’s default work operating system drains our energy, numbs creativity, and slowly wears us down.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Redesign the system. Energize the people. Do great(er) things.
