“Joy, Inc. is a marvelous title, sure. But this masterpiece
delivers and delivers and delivers. I beg you to keep taking
deep breaths and imagining the world that Richard
Sheridan reveals. Then . . . give it the best shot you can. I
do truly beg you.”—Tom Peters, coauthor, In Search of
Excellence
“Redefining management, the way Richard Sheridan did at Menlo
Innovations, is a big task. But with the direction and
inspiration he provides in Joy, Inc., you can tap into your
team’s trust, enthusiasm, and energy to successfully build
your own stronger organization.”—Captain D. Michael Abrashoff,
author, New York Times bestselling It’s Your Ship
“Sheridan and his colleagues at Menlo Innovations have created one
of the world’s most inspiring—and productive—workplaces, and
he reveals its secrets in this highly readable and
thought-provoking book. Joy Inc. is about a way of organizing work
so logical, so effective, and so rewarding that you have to
wonder why everyone doesn’t do it. Maybe now they will.”
—Bo Burlingham, author, Small Giants, and editor at large, Inc.
magazine
“Readers who have experienced lean or agile software development
may recognize the tools Sheridan used to create a totally
different organizational model. But make no mistake—bringing them
to life to create a joyful workplace is an act of leadership and
teamwork, not implementation. Joy, Inc. shows us how the right
intentional culture, combined with the right systems of
management, can bring joy and exceptional business
success.”—Jeffrey Liker, author, The Toyota Way
“Joy, Inc. is the next step in the evolution of leadership and
organization theory. And how appropriate that it comes from
Menlo Innovations, the namesake of Edison’s ‘invention lab.’
Sheridan offers not only a manifesto for elevating the soul of
organizations but a trail guide from a skilled explorer to
help us follow his lead.”—Joseph Grenny, coauthor, Influencer
“An amazing book about a stunning idea. Can you deliberately create
a corporate culture that challenges every conventional wisdom
on how a workplace should and must operate—while simultaneously
skyrocketing performance? Sheridan says yes, and outlines
how he and his team he did it. It’s a riveting story that left
me deeply inspired.”—Frans Johansson, author, The Click Moment, and
CEO, The Medici Group
