Start giftingMeaningful Work
A powerful revelation that finding meaning at work is true driver of employee well-being, high performance, and even profit, and a practical roadmap to make it the cornerstone of your leadership approach.
We’re in the middle of the most significant transformation in work in over a century. As leading an organization or team becomes more complex and employee expectations grow, a single factor remains the core driver of fulfilled, high-performing teams—the belief that their work is meaningful.
Meaningful Work leverages the science of positive psychology to make the business case for making meaning the cornerstone of leadership. Authors Wes Adams and Tamara Myles, advisors to some of the world’s most admired companies, lay out a practical playbook to help every employee do their best work. Based on decades of research, including their own groundbreaking multi-year study of meaning at work, each practice is revealed through stories of meaning-driven leaders you already admire and others that will surprise and inspire you.
Their stories reveal that the things we so desperately want for ourselves and our organizations – high engagement, happiness, productivity, and financial performance – are outcomes of finding meaning at work. Adams and Myles have discovered that every job can, and should, be meaningful when leaders focus on Three Cs– Community, Contribution, and Challenge.
Whether you’re part of a team of call center workers, care professionals, cycling instructors, or corporate executives, this book provides a roadmap for leaders at any level to take small actions each day to inspire passion and performance in every employee.
