"زندگی ما در نهایت فقط چنانچه بامعنا باشد، عالی خواهد بود، و داشتن یک زندگی پرمعنا بدون یک کار پرمعنا، بسیار دشوار است. شاید، در این صورت، بتوانید به آن آرامش دست نیافتنی برسید، آرامش ناشی از این که می‌دانید در ایجاد یک برتری شایسته دخیل بوده و در آن سهمی داشته‌اید. در واقع ممکن است حتی به عمیق‌ترین نوع رضایت خاطر دست یابید، و احساس کنید که زندگی کوتاه مدت شما روی کره زمین به خوبی سپری شده است."
بخشی از کتاب از خوب به عالی نوشته جیم کالینز
According to a research by A.T. Kearney, in any team environment, joy arises from a combination of harmony, impact, and acknowledgment — all of which business leaders can engender in their organizations.
The survey findings further suggest that joy stems from believing one’s work is truly meaningful. Employees who believe their “company makes a positive societal contribution” and who feel “personally committed to achieving the company’s vision and strategy” experienced the most joy at work.
So to create a JOYFUL environment, Leaders must clarify the meaning of work, show employees where they are going, align them to advance the vision, make sure everyone is aware of his impact and role and finally recognize them for their contribution to success.

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.

What is the most important employees’ driver for higher productivity, better performance and more satisfaction? Better payment? Promotion? As KPMG has found, meaning and a sense of purpose is the most important one.
KPMG, the audit, tax, and advisory firm, has enjoyed high employee morale for the last several years— about 80% of its 29,000 professionals say it is a great place to work. But the firm wanted to understand what was driving this sentiment. Analysis of its annual employee survey revealed one item as a particularly strong driver of employee engagement, retention, and pride: “I feel like my job has special meaning and is not just a job.”
According to the internal survey at KPMG, having leaders talk about purposeful work had a significant impact on their employees’ sense of company pride and work satisfaction.
