Shapers of meaning

According to the author, the workplace has lost its meaning for many people. Financial manipulations on Wall Street bring about mergers that affect the security of many people. Foreign competitors are making inroads in domestic markets. U.S. leaders have the challenge to reshape the workplace to bring back pride and productivity to the American workplace. They must be shapers of meaning for individuals searching for a work environment that will allow them to use their talent in special ways and to be whole persons using their creative powers as well as their physical powers. Shapers of meaning must rebuild the trust level of American workers so that their being on the job in their plants makes a difference and shape the workplace in such a way that everyone is committed to a vision and purpose for his or her organization.
