Not Happy With Your Job?

If you’re not happy with your job, apparently you’re not alone – but take heart.  A new HBR article discusses job crafting and describes it as “…a powerful tool for reenergizing and reimagining your work life.”

Essentially the article advocates that you map out your duties and modify tasks, relationships, and even your perception around certain things.

You start by thinking about what motivates you, your strengths, and the things you’re passionate about.  This is where a lot of your job satisfaction comes into play.

For some, you may be able to do a lot of this on your own, but bringing your manager in could be helpful.  The article mentions that leaders want to improve job satisfaction but they don’t have time to develop the plan, etc…  It shows initiative.

We’ll see. 

And how great is this?  HBR made this a free article to access, so check it out and let me know what you think!
