What’s in it for me? Turn any job into the job of your dreams.

Do you often find you have the Sunday night scaries? You know, that feeling of not wanting to go to bed because you’ll be back to work before you know it? You’re not alone. According to a 2019 Gallup poll, 65 percent of Americans long for a deeper sense of meaning from their jobs.

While companies have introduced all sorts of unprecedented perks, they don’t seem to make a dent in the disengagement epidemic. Which makes sense. When you lack fulfillment in your career, blowing off steam at the office gym doesn’t make you like your job.

So, should you quit and pursue plan B? Well, not yet. As an equal partner in a social contract with your employer, you have the leverage to transform any job into a dream job.

In these blinks, you’ll learn

how to reframe the dynamic between you and your employer;
how to pinpoint and hone your strengths; and
how to cultivate authentic relationships in the workplace.

You have control over what your job looks like.

If you’re among the 65 percent of Americans who feel disengaged at work, you probably think you only have three options: Quit the job. Stay and suffer. Or activate that backup escape plan. The first two options are unpleasant. The third? Whether you become a yoga teacher or an organic farmer – it would most likely upend your entire life.

Plus, why quit a job you trained, studied, and practically bled to get? And why lose some of the benefits that come with your nine-to-five, like stability and work-life balance?

But don’t worry. There’s a fourth option. You have more control over the situation than you think.

The key message here is: You have control over what your job looks like.

The relationship between you and your employer is a social contract. The terms dictate that both sides have expectations and responsibilities toward each other. In other words, the relationship must benefit both sides.

Consider sociologist George Homans’s social exchange theory. It puts the give-and-take aspect of relationships through a cost-benefit analysis. It states the importance of evaluating the risks against the benefits. Imagine a friend repeatedly sticks you with the dinner bill. You might one day decide that the cost, or risk, of that friendship outweighs the fun.

So, ask yourself, What benefits do I get from my job? Salary? Achievements? Impact? And What does my job get from my contributions? Is it a healthy relationship that benefits both of us? And since commitment ultimately impacts your level of fulfillment, use this analysis to assess your commitment to the job also.

Knowing all this grants you a certain power. You don’t have to wait for your manager to change the relationship’s dynamic by giving you whatever it is you’re lacking. Instead, you can use this newfound clarity to change the dynamic proactively.

We know that change is scary. But what would happen if you didn’t try? Probably more dreadful days at work, right? On the other hand, imagine how good life would be if you could make the changes that lead to happiness at work instead.

A growth mindset allows you to continue to learn and to understand what you need.

No doubt, like most people, you have emotional needs. Perhaps that’s a bit embarrassing to admit – especially in the highly competitive professional world. But considering you probably spend about a third of your life at work, it’s no surprise that what happens in the office can affect your self-esteem.

Not only that, researchers have found that experiences at work impact your organizational self-esteem – that is, how much you feel a part of the team. The more competent and valued you feel, the happier you are at your job.

Align your strength with the company’s interests for a win-win situation.

As you probably know from countless job interviews, there always comes a time when you’re asked: What are your strengths? Most people tend to have a vague response, like, I’m a good multitasker or, I’m a perfectionist. But what does good really mean? And does perfectionism scream efficiency? As the author says, your strengths are professional gold. By playing to your strengths, you’re motivated to do your best work, which makes you both more impactful and more fulfilled.

So, if you haven’t already, step out of the vagueness and be super clear about what your strengths are. You may be pleasantly surprised when you realize how much control you have in making your job a dream job.

Rekindle your love for your work by developing new skills.

Is there something about your job that isn’t working? Maybe your needs aren’t being met or your current role feels like a dead end. But what if there’s a way to grow out of it? Consider this question: In five or ten years, what do I want my most significant professional accomplishment to be?

Next, admit that you probably need to develop some skills to get there. That’s actually good news because learning new skills is an investment in yourself, which is usually rewarded with increased income and self-esteem. Not only do you raise your value as an employee, but you also give yourself an opportunity to do work you truly enjoy.

Cultivate authentic relationships instead of undermining your connection with coworkers.

If you were asked who your most annoying coworker is, an answer would probably instantly spring to mind, right? Perhaps he drives you crazy with confusing emails, bums you out with his bad vibes, or always holds you hostage by the coffee machine. While these may all be valid complaints, fixating on them actually undermines your relationships with coworkers.

You may be thinking, Who cares? It’s work, not playtime! But actually, positive social interaction is a fundamental human need, like food and water. And the better your work relationships are, the more your job turns into a fulfilling dream job.

Align yourself with your work’s deeper purpose as the final step to making it work.

Have you ever wondered why you’re nursing your tenth cup of coffee after having the Sunday night scaries, but your coworker seems bright-eyed and cheerful every Monday morning? Maybe it’s time to figure out whether you have a job, a career, or a calling.

A job is just something that pays the bills and, if you had to do it over again, no way you’d pick this one. A career puts the focus on collecting achievements and advancements. But if what you do is a calling, then salary and advancement don’t mean much since the work itself is fulfilling enough.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
