From Silicon Valley leader Maynard Webb, how we can leverage
technology to change how we work
Maynard Webb has always been the go-to guy when Silicon Valley
companies have thorny problems. Whether revamping e Bay’s crashing
servers (transforming their technology weaknesses into a
competitive strength) or investing in emerging technology
start-ups, Webb brings strategic and operational savvy to every
issue and venture. In his first book, Webb brings this same focus
to tackle outdated models of work, created a century ago, which no
longer sync up with either individual or employers’ needs.
Through a unique framework, Webb identifies 4 different mindsets
around work (the company man, CEO of your own destiny, disenchanted
employee, and the aspiring entrepreneur). It organizes those who
are self-motivated versus those who are waiting to be discovered
and aims to give readers the tools to become more self-actualized,
happier, and ultimately more fulfilled in their careers. In
identifying a paradigm shift that is already under way, Webb
demonstrates clearly how to harness technology to embrace our own
personal happiness, allowing people to become more productive at
work and also spend more time with their families.
