tip of the day

Iakov Kalinin

Happiness comes from the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, and what the world needs, says Harvard Business Review.

"When it comes to careers, we're told to follow our passions. But you might find greater satisfaction if you work on big problems. Whether it's an issue in education, health care, climate change, poverty, or technology; figure out how you can contribute to a solution.

Choose a problem that you care about – even personally – and let this dilemma be your compass. Get out of the office, meet people who are affected by the problem, and connect with those working in this area. Doing so shifts your attention from yourself to others. By becoming less focused on yourself, you might become happier with your work."

Today's management tip was adapted from To Find Happiness, Forget About Passion, by Oliver Segovia.
