What is our career about?

Money? Promotion? Benefits?

These are what finite players are looking for. As life is infinite, being a finite player is not a wise choice

To live and work infinitely, we must discover our why (mission), our just cause (vision) and values. An infinite career is about fullfiling our why, advancing our just cause and living our values through our jobs.

If we invest our career in these 3 actions, we would feel fulfilled and inspired every day and night.

So when we want to pick up a job, first we must answer the following question:

1) Does this job help me fullfil my why?

2) Does this job help me advance my just cause?

3) Does this job help me live my values?

What a great definition for leadership from authors of book THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE.

According to this definition, leaders are skilled at doing 3 things:

 1) Generating a compelling and inspiring vision of a better world.

 2) Communicating their vision effectively to others.

 3) Driving and motivating others to give their blood and swear towards the vision.

As Seth Godin said in his book TRIBE: leaders form and lead a tribe towards a shared ideal future. So to be a leader discover your VISION, find tour target TRIBE, COMMUNICATE with them, MOTIVATE them to accept and promote your vision and finally EMPOWER them to advance the vision.

What an insightful BUSINESS quote from Mother Teresa.

Employees have more hunger for appreciation and recognition than money and bonus. Why?

Because we are naturally SOCIAL ANIMALS and always looking for approval of others, specially those we serve to.

Pay attention to different needs of your employees as HUMAN BEINGS. Sometimes a simple thank you, tapping on shoulders, applauding in front of co-workers and showing them their efforts are VALUED make a more powerful impact than cash.

There are 3 key criteria for recruitment:

1) NETWORK FIT: how much the applicant is capable of working with teammates? Is the applicant willing to co-create?

2) CULTURE FIT: does the applicant believe in our company's values, mission, vision and principles?

3) SKILL FIT: is applicant qualified based in terms of knowledge, education, skills and experience?

Due to the research, the MOST SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYEES are the ones who are first network fit then culture fit.

Having a unique, inspiring and transparent culture leads to attracting the talents who believe in what you believe and do their best to fulfil company purpose.

One of the best examples of such companies is Southwest Airline.

Couple of months ago, I had a conversation with one of Iranian company's HR manager. We were working on designing a career development process for company's employees.

 While our focus was on planning a development process to extend employee tenure period, the manager gave us a wise advice.

He said: “We cannot provide employees with opportunities to progress and grow forever here. We want to help them to grow their career daily even if it means to continue their career somewhere else."

Averagely it takes 3 to 5 years to pave a learning cycle and master a business function. HR leaders must be aware of employee’s position in their learning cycle. When they are at the top and there is no more opportunity for learning and growing, it's time to help them find new challenges somewhere else.

If we insist on holding them, the results would be less productivity, motivation and energy.

HBR: Your Organization Needs a Learning Ecosystem

HAPPINESS is a result of progress and achievement. It is dependent on external sense of success. FULFILLMENT is a result of living and working purposely a meaningfully. It is dependent on internal sense of success. When you consider MEANING and PURPOSE a higher priority than position and salary, you will feel a different level of energy, joy, motivation and success. In one survey of 12,000 employees, 50% said they didn’t get a feeling of meaning and significance from their work, but those who did reported 1.7 times greater job satisfaction, were 1.4 times more engaged, and were more than three times as likely to remain with their current employer. HR LEADERS must put a lot of efforts to provide employees with a meaningful environment by clarifying organization mission, vision and values. If so, they will have employees which are fulfilled every moment they spend at workplace. hashtag
