Abstract

 This chapter describes what it is like to synchronize your sense of meaning in life with the mission of the organization where you work. This fit between meaning and mission occurs when people can engage in strengths expression, receive organizational support, and experience cause alignment. When all these factors are present, people tend to be extraordinarily happy and feel satisfied with their work.
