The 5 Principles of Workplace Stewardship: Finding Purpose and Contentment in Your Career

Why do so many individuals get that pit in the stomach on Sunday afternoon because tomorrow is Monday? Simply put, most people consider their work as just a "job" that they must endure, not a career... a duty, not a privilege...as merely a means to a paycheck. Very few view their work as one of the highlights of their life. This book seeks the change all that. It is possible to purposefully change your view of the workplace in such a way that you become more content, more productive, and more impactful. Workplace stewardship is the key that unlocks this new approach to work and life. Workplace Stewardship is the careful and responsible management of your individual behavior, attitudes, and priorities in the context of your work. It has 5 key principles that, when fully understood, can help you thrive in your workplace, not merely tolerate it. These principles - ownership, responsibility, accountability, rewards, and contentment - are evident and drivers in every high performer and every individual that is energized and excited about their work. This book speaks in detail about each of the 5 Principles of Workplace Stewardship. Real examples are provided along with specific actions that can be taken by the reader. Key elements of each principle are summarized at the end of each section totaling 63 in all that provide a quick reference or review to help drive purposeful change. Ultimately, the purpose and value of this book is to help the individual that needs encouragement. We should not accept that dread on Sunday evening that so many routinely experience. In our career, we spend about 10,000 days at work. That's over 30% of all our waking hours from the day we started our first job up to retirement at age 65! It's no wonder so many individuals are looking forward to retirement when they are not fulfilled in their work. There is a better way and this book outlines ways to make our remaining workdays more productive for ourselves and more impactful for others.
