Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky advises against viewing the workplace as family, citing challenges during layoffs.
Instead, liken it to a professional sports team, where performance matters. Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the need for an annual job fight akin to winning the Stanley Cup. Viewing work as a family can blur professional boundaries, potentially exploiting employees.
Joshua A. Luna advocates for a transactional approach, fostering belonging while prioritizing productivity. A healthy workplace respects this balance. The key takeaway: embrace a professional mindset to maintain a positive, productive work culture.
