You Can't Laugh At Work 5 Ft. Reid Carr Of Red Door Interactive You Can't Laugh At That
-
- Comedy Interviews
Being an effective leader and being a great comedian, believe it or not, take many of the same skills, and that's why David Horning is setting out to prove that you CAN laugh at work, one leader at a time.
Reid Carr is the founder and CEO of Red Door Interactive, a marketing agency in San Diego and Denver known for its 100% jerk-free culture. Though not funny in and of itself, this cultural cornerstone lays out an expectation of openness, creativity, and trust where employees are free to be themselves and apply what they're best at to their work, without fear of judgment. How does Reid support this culture as its leader?
By using some of the same skills as a stand-up comic.
Sure, Reid is no comedian, but this skillset that is vital to top-notch writing and performing becomes even more crucial when it's used as a leadership tool.
In this episode we talk about:
-The definition of meaning.
-Identifying when an employee isn't connecting meaningfully to his or her work.
-Humanity in the workplace and building trust and connection to retain and inspire employees.
-Adapting creativity for commercial purposes.
-When "Yes, and..." goes too far and how to constructively get creative conversations back on the rails.
-Transparency during crisis.
