Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi published the groundbreaking Flow more than a deca
de ago, world leaders such as Tony Blair and former President Clinton, and influ
ential sports figures like Super Bowl champion coach Jimmy Johnson have all been

aders believe in a goal that benefits themselves as well as others. They realize
that it is their vision and "soul" that attract loyal employees willing to go a
bove and beyond the call of corporate duty. And their employees are realizing th
e same thing: while 80 percent of adults claim they'd work even if they didn't h
ave to, the majority of them can hardly wait to leave their jobs and get home.
