Tackle and debunk the most pervasive myths about work and the workplace to help you get the most out of your career and organization.
Buying a table tennis table will make your staff happier. Working eight hours a day, five days a week, will result in the most productivity. Paying higher salaries will always result in higher motivation. But will it really?

This can make it feel impossible to truly know how to get the most out of your career, your team and your company.
