It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts-events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy-and (2) nourishers-interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. 1 Inuence on Inner Work Life: Progress Of all the workday events that can boost a person’s emotions and intrinsic drive to do a great job, the single most important is making progress in meaningful work.
