The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

Steve Jobs

We agree. We do the best work of our lives when we are fully immersed in the task at hand, loving what we do and doing what we do best. Our goal is to make it possible for everyone to experience this level of satisfaction and success every day.

Workstyle: We’ve All Got One

If you think of lifestyle as a set of habits that shape your life, workstyle is simply the set of habits that shape your work. Everyone has their own workstyle, whether it’s imagining the future, creating processes or investing in relationships. Every organization has its own workstyle, too. It might include open workspaces, video conferences or flex time.

But how do you know what type of challenges you enjoy? We all have preferred ways to think, relate and get things done. We call this your WorkType™.

Your WorkType™ is an insight to your Workstyle

Do you have the opportunity to do your best work at work every day?

Your answer to this question matters. Research shows that it’s the most important predictor of the success of your company. When you love what you do, you do your best work. That’s where WorkType comes in. Doing your best work is not a function of who you are—it’s about how you think.
