The Job Crafting Exercise

The Job Crafting Exercise can help you make your job more engaging and fulfilling. The idea is to view your job in a new way - as a flexible set of building blocks rather than a fixed list of duties. Using this perspective, you create a visual plan for redesigning your job to better suit your values, strengths, and passions.
