Are We Dying For Our Paychecks? – Work Life Confidential

Do layoffs actually make businesses more efficient and profitable? How concerned should we be about the effects of overwork and toxic leaders? Are our workplaces killing us? Join Stanford Graduate Business School Professor Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer, whose most recent book is Dying for a Paycheck: How Modern Management Harms Employee Health and Company Performance—and What We Can Do About It, and me for a conversation that will answer these and related questions. Dr. Pfeffer is the author or coauthor of 15 books, including Leadership BS and The Human Equation, and more than 150 articles and book chapters. He has taught at Harvard Business School, London Business School, Singapore Management University, and IESE Business School in Barcelona and given talks in 39 countries. We’ll talk about the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and financial costs of the way we work today and how you can take the best care of yourself in spite of these.
