If workplace dissatisfaction is a shared issue between organizations and their people, it seems a solution should be shared as well. Solving a problem happens when the entire cause of that problem is addressed. Dissatisfaction doesn’t only originate in reaction to organizational leadership or systems…although that is a main cause of stress. Dissatisfaction begins with internal conditions of the mind and the heart, attracting negativity.

What if organizational dysfunction could be minimized with the right attitude, a clear perspective, resilience and grit, and optimism? People who carry or develop healthy characteristics are more likely to be satisfied with their work because external situations no longer misalign their internal well-being.
