Quote “This is a world in which people had better be doing whatever they do best, whatever they are really motivated to do, whatever most suits them temperamentally, and whatever makes best use of such assets as they happen to have. In this marketplace, organizations pay for results. ” William Bridges

Quote “In the dejobbed world, the truth that each of us has an inherent life work is suddenly rich with meaning.

It is a condition for being successful. You now have to discover your lifework if you are to have a chance of creating a satisfactory and satisfying work life. ” William Bridges

Quote People who reach exceptional heights may differ from each other, but one thing they all share is a clear goal born of some organizing purpose that summons their talents, aims their efforts, and steers them in the right direction.
