Creating A Work Culture Everyone Wants

Jennifer’s book “Why Are We Here” was featured in a review for Eric Jacobson’s management and leadership blog.

In her book *Why Are We Here?: Creating A Work Culture Everyone Wants*, Jennifer Moss addresses the complex and challenging environment that leaders face in today’s evolving workplace. She asserts that now is the most difficult time in modern history to be a leader, due to shifting dynamics in work culture and employee needs. Moss offers practical guidance on how leaders can navigate these changes by emphasizing eight key areas rooted in social and behavioral psychology that can transform a disengaged workforce into a motivated and high-performing one.

The eight areas Moss outlines are:

Hope, which drives self-efficacy and action
Purpose, which enhances job satisfaction and retention by giving employees a sense of direction
Community, which strengthens the connection between coworkers
Compassion, which fosters emotional agility and sustainable change
Freedom, which promotes flexibility and autonomy for higher engagement
Openness, which helps bridge generational and cultural gaps
Belonging, which is critical for inclusivity and innovation in the workplace
Recognition, which supports equal opportunities for success and removes barriers.

Moss’s book combines fresh research, insightful stories, and actionable advice to help leaders adapt to the current work climate. Her expertise in future-focused leadership development and workplace culture makes this book a valuable resource for leaders looking to balance employee well-being with high performance.
