Achievement-craving professionals experience high levels of anxiety, and doubts about their own purpose top the list. What's it all about? Am I connected to a cause or an enterprise that matters? Do I matter? In this chapter, organizational behavior expert Thomas DeLong shows how developing a clear sense of purpose can help you defeat the anxiety that gets in the way of greater accomplishment. Seeking full engagement with your work--whether that means asking your boss to clarify your role in the company, taking on a challenging new assignment, or changing jobs altogether--is one way to get past your anxiety and summon the courage to align yourself with your purpose. Another is to demand straight talk rather than ambiguity from those in a position to give you feedback. Case studies, personal stories, and self-assessment questions will start you on the path to feeling a stronger sense of purpose and finding a better fit in your organization. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 3 of "Flying Without a Net: Turn Fear of Change into Fuel for Success."
