Finding and Activating Your Purpose at Work #shorts

There's actually becoming increasingly bigger and bigger this gap between people who find meaning at work and those that they don't. So it's a new habit. Victor Frankl in the late 50s or 60s said this beautiful thing. He said, today we have more means to live and less meaning to live for. Think about that, dear friends. In fact, two, three years ago when I was at McKinsey, some of my colleagues had done some seminal research around purpose. And what they found was that for 70% of employees, the sense of purpose was defined by their work. But. But this is where things get interesting. Almost 85% of senior executives in upper management agreed that they can live their purpose in their day to day life. Can you guess what that number looks like for frontline managers and employees? It's shocking, but it's only 15% of frontline managers and employees agree. 36% are neutral. Here's a scary one, 49% disagreed that their work helped them live their purpose. Their why. Think about it. If 50% of your people don't find meaning at work, all you're getting are their arms and legs. You're not getting their hearts and mind. And think about what it can unlock for you.
