Today purpose-driven employees seem to be in high demand. However, could doing the obvious job well be purposeful enough?

According to a recent article in the Economist, it is important to look beyond the vague term of a “meaningful job”. Research confirms that people are motivated by different things and that they also find purpose in different things. “Having a purpose does not necessarily mean a desire to found a startup, head up the career ladder or log into virtual Davos. Some people are fired up by the prospect of learning new skills or of deepening their expertise.”

What this means is that leaders need to 1) be aware of assuming that the overall company purpose provides motivation to all the employees and 2) think more creatively about career progression than promoting people into management jobs. To learn more about the topic, read the full article.

Stop and Think

“You want to make your culture into a magnet that pulls great employees in and retains them over time as the competition for those great employees is going through the roof.”
