"Do we have the discipline to turn down the job that only pays well in favor of the one that leaves us feeling good at the end of the day?" - Simon Sinek
The replies so far are heavily in favor of the latter statement that focuses on feeling good. Not surprising. The next question I beg to ask is...are we matching our beliefs with our actual behavior?
How about these questions?
When you go to work are you crystal clear on why your company exists? "To make money" is a result, not a reason.
Do you work among people who are committed to the same company goals and mission that you are? Do you "feel it", or is there tangible evidence?
What exactly is it that makes you feel good at the end of the day?
The recession that commenced in 2008 has changed our world forever. Businesses must operate differently. The workforce and job seeking community need to adjust as well. The shift I see consistently is the desire to be attached to a business with clear purpose, beliefs and values. How fast is this happening? Your answers to the above questions will give the best indicator.
