[Ailist] Howard Gardner's new book _Responsibility at Work_

[Stephanie West Allen]

Excerpt:

This sets the stage for [Howard Gardner's] new book, Responsibility  
at Work. The book of basically a collection of reports on the  
GoodWork® Project. Began in 1994 by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, William  
Damon, and Howard Gardner, the GoodWork® Project seeks to determine  
how best to increase the incidence of good work in our society. From  
the reports given, Gardner lists seven widely applicable takeaways:

Understand the basic mission or missions of your occupation and your  
role(s) within it.
Explore the relation of your personal beliefs and goals to your  
chosen occupation and role(s).
Identify individuals and institutions that take responsibility  
seriously; seek to work in such a milieu; take positive lessons from  
those positive instances.
