The more I think about what makes a job good, the more I see that perhaps the most critical link in building and sustaining job quality is the presence of a good manager.

When it comes to jobs, we can all do better by doing “good.”

It’s easy to see that quality of life often starts with a good job. But defining what constitutes a good job is complex. Can we say exactly what makes a job “good”?

It might sound strange, but after more than three decades as a consultant and researcher on organization culture, I believe the workplace has the potential to strengthen our fraying social fabric and lift our spirits.

“Eco-system” mindsets, behaviors, and business structures are needed now and for the future.

Over the past two years, we’ve transformed how we work at a break-neck pace and made progress toward a “Good Jobs” future, where work meets both basic and high-level human needs. How do we keep up this momentum?

Plus a “C” for weaving them all together.

Let’s help managers answer today’s call for network-savvy leadership.
