Find Joy in Any Job: How Do I Improve the Role I Have?

A lot of us are feeling unhappy and disengaged at work – and that
started long before the pandemic. A big part of the problem, says
Marcus Buckingham, is that we don’t take the initiative to do more
of the tasks that we truly love. After identifying what most
energizes and excites you about your current role or employer, you
can try a host of strategies to shape your work around those
things. In this special series from HBR, we’re looking at how to
find love in your work. In this episode, we explain how to shift
your current role to focus on what really drives you. IdeaCast
co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of
research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute
and author of the new book Love + Work.
