  Thank you for creating this site. I have a deep interest in helping people find meaningful work. I do that by working with people who want to change careers to find the work they were meant to do. I look forward to your newsletter and posts.

  Thanks for your comment. You must find great satisfaction in helping people find the right track.
  My experience has been that when people are in the right career, their satisfaction is high and so are the results. Look forward to your continued participation here.

  Nice to see this topic catching fire! I run the Meaningful Work groups on LinkedIn and Ning (the latter not yet launched).

  I'm in the midst of beta-testing the Meaningful Work Inventory® on 1,000 working Americans. It's a comprehensive employee survey with meaningful work dimensions. My hope (dream?) is for this to become the premier measure of levels of meaningful work in organizations.

  I'm looking forward to connecting and partnering with colleagues here.

  Thanks for your comments – we look forward to your continued participation.

  We're approaching this topic from the perspective that we can all get more meaning, satisfaction, and success at work tomorrow if:
  -we communicate more often about what we're doing, how we're doing, and opportunities for development
  -we look at feedback as a positive opportunity for learning and development
  -we get recognition for the results we achieve.

  Thanks – David

  Work is changing; the way it gets done and the people who are doing it. Industrial era approaches to managing people are on their way out (or should be) so I'm glad to see Rypple put forward a repository where through social media new ideas can be shared and absorbed. I see you've mentioned Daniel Pink…his book, Drive, the Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, is a must read. A clip of him talking about some of the book's concepts can be found at http://blog.ted.com/2009/07/dan_pink_at_ted.php
