Are you bored at work?

55% of American workers feel like their capabilities aren't being tapped into and utilized and therefore, they really don't have a connection to the organization. The same study has found that employees who said they have too much work to do were more satisfied with their work than those who said they had too little to do. See the article here.

When we have a lack of autonomy and a very specific job description, we can often find ourselves bored in our work. Servant-leadership obliges leaders to make sure that everyone in the organization feels valued. When an employee has too little work on their desk they often feel like the organization does not value their abilities. In the long run it ends up hurting the organization as well; it blocks creativity and can create a demoralized atmosphere.
