The global state of work is in shambles. According to recent studies, 60 percent of workers are detached from their jobs and almost 20 percent are miserable. The idea that work is supposed to be unfulfilling and tiresome isn’t new, but as a society, it’s disheartening that we haven’t moved beyond it. So how does this change? The long and short of it is simple—better leaders. Great managers help their team members learn, grow, and thrive professionally. They help employees feel truly cared about, and in turn, those workers truly care about their jobs. This isn’t just a nice idea, either. There are real-world benefits to engaging employees in this way.
