Work as Play: With so many shifting rules and cultural norms, career success can feel like mastering a complex game.

Jessica Lindl, Vice President of Ecosystem Growth at Unity Technologies and a Haas MBA alum, shows how a gaming mindset can be an advantage in today’s workplace.

Her new book, The Career Game Loop: Learn to Earn in the New Economy, launches April 29.

Jessica joins hosts Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srivastava in the season 3 finale of The Culture Kit podcast to discuss the gamer mindset, strategies for job crafting, and how leaders can build game-inspired workplace cultures.
