Recent months have shaken the pillars of trust in the US. While we cling to our religious faith, we wonder how businesses, financial professionals and political leaders will ever gain back our confidence and, more importantly, our trust. We appear to be turning to each other for solutions and support rather than employers who continue to push more of us into the street, or Wall Street who can’t or won’t tell us where all the money went or leaders who fight on a partisan level to save their respective parties rather than the nation.
I’m thrilled at the grassroots movements of Americans to adapt our lives and reach out to help others. You all make me so proud. But how are we ever going to feel secure with employers and leaders again? They may not care if we’re secure but their bottom lines will seriously suffer if people can’t put their all into their work or their workplace. Consider a workplace where workers’ have reserved their commitment and engagement for themselves and no one else. What’s the opposite of good to great?
