SPOS #730 – Pim de Morree On Being A Corporate Rebel

Welcome to episode #730 of Six Pixels of Separation.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – Episode #730 – Host: Mitch Joel. The work of Pim de Morree and his partner (Joost Minnaar) has been on my radar for a few years. It came up more recently, when I saw them on the famed Thinkers50 list and with the publication of their latest book, Corporate Rebels – Make Work More Fun. This may seem like an archaic concept as we all struggle to find our grounding during this pandemic, but it may be a more radical (and much-needed) way to think about our work than ever before. Pim wants workplaces to change for the better. That doesn’t change in a work from home world, it gets amplified and becomes more important. Corporate Rebels is really a global movement to make work more fun. Pim and Joost quit their frustrating, corporate jobs and set out to travel the world to visit the world’s most inspiring organizations. While checking off their renowned Bucket List they share everything they learn. Their cult blog is read in over 100 countries, and they have been listed among the ‘Top 30 Emergent Management Thinkers’ and won the 2019 Thinkers50 ‘Radar Award’. We’re all faced with re-thinking work. Here’s some additional perspective. Enjoy the conversation…
