The societal strife seen throughout 2011 around the whole expresses the aggravation of several people whose dreams have been shattered. A dream is a possibility that someone imagines for his or her work or non-work life, which should create excitement, but for many represents an ever more distant reality.
Rather than eroding people's wishes any further throughout more short term cutbacks, a better strategy would be to help individuals take steps to realize them and recover their lost dreams. As the writers' research shows, firms that assist workers pursue their dreams and find meaning in their personal and professional lives end up with a far more engaged and productive work force, and have a tendency to be more successful at holding on to their most talented employees and managers, generating innovation and increase in the method. For businesses operating across borders, special attention should be paid to culture-specific wishes and aspirations, to be able to give an international work force an alternative.
