In executing the Good Work Project, we conducted in-depth in terviews of more than 1,200 professionals in nine different spheres of work. Reflection on our findings has led us to conceptualize god work as exhibiting three components, each exemplified by the letter E. Good work is excellent-it meets the technical standards of the relevant profession or craft. It is personally meaningful or engaging. Carrying out good work over the long haul proves too difficult unless that work remains inviting and meaningful to the practitioner. The third is ethical. Good work is carried out in a responsible, ethical manner The good worker constantly interrogates herself about what it means to be responsible; seeks to behave in that way; and attempts, as we all should, to admit her failings and thereafter to correct course.
