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.

Looking back at 2021 and thinking about what to bring with us into the new year. 

We’re witnessing the prospect of reform that allows all workers to grow into their potential, enables organizations to thrive, and permits us to produce shared, sustainable prosperity.
