An interesting email crossed my desk this week.  It was from Michael Losey, former President & CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management.  Mike was sharing some information about the latest book by David Ulrich, professor of business at the University of Michigan.

Of course, I’m familiar with Dave Ulrich.  He’s quite the icon in human resources.  Written more books and has more credentials … I can only hope to live so long.  He’s also one of the architects of the latest HR Competency Model (which is truly fascinating and all HR Pros should take a look at it.)

But since Dave’s latest work is less about human resources and more about work, I really wanted to see if he would share some insights.  And lucky for me, he did:

1) Your latest book, “The Why of Work“, focuses on employees finding meaning at work.  How can we help managers understand that it’s not just about the paycheck’?

See what insights Dave gives.
