Shared Language & Culture Shaping
When I was working in higher education, conversations around vision and culture were common topics. We would discuss “tone setting” and “vision casting” as often as we discussed the local game or the new special at our favorite restaurant. It was common for our office to focus on casting the vision for our team on why we do what we do.
As I thought through how I wanted to cast the vision to my team, I thought through how to communicate that the work we do is integrated into our lives because it is all-encompassing–
It is compassion integrated with accountability
It is tenacity integrated with grace
It is faith integrated into our work
Can Fulfillment at Work be Found?
One of the most common expressions of frustration that I hear from people who are exasperated with their work and often considering a change - many of whom as deeply committed followers of Jesus - is this: “I just don’t find my work very fulfilling.”
This is hardly an uncommon sentiment, and one that’s being felt at increasing levels. Recent research has found that younger generations are less satisfied and more frustrated than older generations about work (61% of Gen Z vs. 48% of Millennials, 47% of Gen X and 42% of Boomers. Barna Group, 2021).
