Dale Sternberg summarizes strategies from an article by Paula Davis-Laack on becoming a thriving employee. Davis-Laack notes that thriving employees are more valuable, satisfied, and committed. She suggests engaging in job crafting by negotiating new job responsibilities and adding meaning. Employees should also seek opportunities to learn, get feedback, and develop skills. Additionally, thriving employees work in environments with a balance of boredom and anxiety to achieve a state of "flow".
