Adam Grant on how jobs, bosses and firms may improve after the crisis

Notes from Adam Grant on how jobs, bosses and firms may improve after the crisis by Adam Grant.

• “It turns out that the higher the unemployment rate when we enter the workforce, the more satisfied we end up being with our jobs—even ten to 15 years later, according to multiple studies.”

• “...those who see their work as a calling are more willing to sacrifice money, time and comfort. People who love their jobs often pay a ‘passion tax’.”

• “Corporate stars always have choices about where to work, and they won’t have much reason to join or stay at companies where leaders fail to put people first.”

• “...surviving tough times appears to reduce narcissism and feelings of entitlement—at least among men.”

• “The level of trust that we feel towards our colleagues and our companies is likely to become more extreme—in both directions.”
