Career fulfillment, a sense of contribution and engagement in meaningful work are draining away for many.

In response, Stephen Covey, author of the best-seller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Jennifer Colosimo, chief learning officer at Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE:FC), have joined together to co-author Great Work, Great Career: How to Create Your Ultimate Job and Make an Extraordinary Contribution, which was released 16.12.2009 by FranklinCovey Publishing.
