Description

This case was originally published as “Calling and Talent Development: Not Your Average Working Joe” in 2011. The meaning of a calling has been diluted over the years, which has diminished its power in organizations. By tracing the evolution of Joseph’s calling, this case illustrates the power of a calling as the ultimate form of employee engagement, ethical leadership, excellent performance and positive social impact. This ancient inter-faith story offers numerous lessons for modern organizations (e.g., leadership, diversity, ethics, team work and talent development).
