Why Do We Need to "Matter" At Work?

If work provides us with income, a sense of structure for our day, and relative stability/security, what else could we possibly need?

According to a treasure trove of research conducted by psychologists and organizational specialists, including Zach Mercurio, PhD, we absolutely have to feel like we “matter,” as well.

In a recent article for Forbes, I dig into key concepts and findings from Mercurio’s new book, The Power of Mattering: How Leaders Can Create a Culture of Significance, including how to put them into practice.

tldr: mattering isn’t a “nice to have” - it’s a necessity.
