How many people find senses of purpose in their jobs? Unfortunately studies show that most do not. Their bodies may put in long hours, but their hearts and minds never punch in. And that's a terrible dilemma for organizations trying to motivate their workforces to do more with less.

Make It Matter is the antidote to crisis levels of disengagement. This upbeat, original book shows how meaning-rich workplaces connect, inspire, and catapult employees into new realms of productivity and well-being.

Not only does the book make a convincing case for change, but it also explains how to become the kind of business where people love to work and the kind of manager for whom people love to work. Insightful research findings, stories, and guidelines help readers create:

• Direction: reframing work to add meaning
• Discovery: offering challenges and thoughtful opportunities to learn and grow
• Devotion: cultivating an authentic, caring culture, free from corrosive behaviors
