Work on Your Business, Not in it | Next Week’s Life 6

admin — Fri, 09 Sep 2022 15:24:18 +0000

Bob “Judge” Goldberg remembers when business leaders declared “going paperless” to be just a fad: “We’ll go paperless in the office when we go paperless in the bathroom,” he once said. It would never catch on… Now, he, along with former Muratec President Jim D-Emidio, join Mike to talk all about changing with the times. As longtime legal counsel for the Business Technology Association, Judge Goldberg advises business leaders on the ins and outs of an industry that has completely transformed – from print, to digital, to work-from-home – and only looks to keep evolving. Jim, who led Muratec for over 30 years, remembers a time when workplace culture wasn’t a priority. Now, he insists, it’s essential. Together, these three talk about adapting, creating empathetic cultures, and how to lead your team into the future on this special installment of Next Week’s Life.
