What Is Your Life's Work?: Answer The Big Question About What Really Matters - And Reawaken The Passion For What You Do

Synopsis

For twenty years, Tim Dobbins was a parish priest, performing weddings and funerals and ministering to his South Florida parishioners. He took these compassionate values to the corporate world, where he is now an executive coach to senior executives and CEOs. He helps them grapple with big decisions, including, how to groom their successor, and how to foster a more positive corporate culture. Dobbins believes individuals have the power to make the workplace more humane. From the most senior executive, to the lowest hourly temp, everyone makes choices. With this book, Dobbins has created an elegantly simple, entirely secular approach to making positive decisions at work and in life. Decisions are important because doing the right thing is the only way to imbue your life with meaning, he says. The five basic choices are: Standing still, Stepping aside, Stepping back, Stepping on someone, and Stepping up. People often do the wrong thing by stepping aside or stepping on someone. But Dobbins advocates stepping up, or taking responsibility, even if it means having a difficult conversation with a colleague or a spouse, or experiencing the discomfort of doing something for the first time. With his gentle, comforting, profoundly moral approach to the world, Dobbins has created a secular language for bringing moral and spiritual concerns into the workplace.
