Responsibility at Work: How Leading Professionals Act (or Don't Act) ResponsiblyHoward Gardner John Wiley & Sons, 2010 M12 21 - 368 pages Filled with original essays by Howard Gardner, William Damon, Mihaly Csikszenthmihalyi, and Jeanne Nakamura and based on a large-scale research project, the GoodWork® Project, Responsibility at Work reflects the information gleaned from in-depth interviews with more than 1,200 people from nine different professions—journalism, genetics, theatre, higher education, philanthropy, law, medicine, business, and pre-collegiate education.

At the heart of the study is the revelation that the key to good work is responsilibilty—taking ownership for one’s work and its wider impact. |
