Increasingly, people report feeling overlooked, ignored, and underappreciated at work. Simply put, they don't feel like they matter to their leaders or organizations. This hidden epidemic of insignificance is fueling a mental health crisis, intensifying loneliness, and, for organizations, driving disengagement, turnover, and low performance.

The good news is that leaders can learn the skills to ensure that everyone around them feels valued. Drawing from hands-on work in hundreds of diverse industries and organizations, researcher and speaker Zach Mercurio reveals how mattering to others is a fundamental requirement for thriving. He introduces a simple yet effective framework for making daily interactions with your people more meaningful:

  • Noticing: the practice of seeing and hearing others
  • Affirming: the practice of showing people how their unique gifts make a difference
  • Needing: the practice of showing people they're relied on

Filled with practical advice, helpful exercises, and inspiring real-world examples, The Power of Mattering equips leaders at all levels with the tools they need to revitalize their teams—and entire organizations—by showing people that they matter.

This book was recommended by a colleague. In the day to day madness of work, life, and even relaxation - we rush so much of everything around us. Slowing down and understanding how I matter allows me to slow down for others so they can see they matter too. Changed my perspective and opened my eyes.

Mattering matters.

Zach makes a compelling case that mattering isn’t a soft concept, it’s a strategic imperative. When people feel they matter, they engage more deeply, connect more authentically, and perform with greater purpose!

A must read for all leaders!

I got what I was hoping from the book, but the reading made it harder for me to take in. Nice, clear voice, but almost no pauses or differentiation in sections, titles, quotes and citations. It played like a few run on sentences rather than the informational document it is.

Good info, hard listen.
