About the Summary
Editor’s Note: This book offers a clear, actionable model for leaders who want to move beyond productivity and create workplaces where people find meaning through community, contribution, and challenge.
In Meaningful Work: How to Ignite Passion and Performance in Every Employee, Wes Adams and Tamara Myles have developed an evidence-based framework for meaning-driven leadership. Drawing from the experiences of thousands of people from twenty-five industries, they identified specific leadership practices and organizational structures that make work more meaningful. With the three pillars of meaningful work – community, contribution, and challenge, readers are able to discover the elements of their jobs that tell them that they matter, that their work matters, and that they are growing into better versions of themselves. When they are present, people thrive. When they are missing, people languish.
