As Americans, we value professional success. While that is easy to explain, as building a successful career means we will be able to afford to live the lives we always dreamed of, it isn’t always stressed that success comes in different shapes and sizes. Sometimes, the job we perform has little to do with our passion, and that means we’re not giving our all to our craft. According to a study from Deloitte University Press, 87.7 percent of America’s workforce are unable to give their all to their employer. The remaining 12.3 percent, however, show what the team called the real attributes of worker passion.

To workers in general, a lack of passion translates into an unhappy work experience. And believe it or not, that is bad for both the worker and the employer.
