What people are saying

“Angela brings clarity and depth to one of the most urgent leadership challenges of our time: how to build culture that performs because it means something. Meaning Over Purpose offers more than ideas, it delivers a practical framework leaders can actually use. This is strategy with soul, and it’s what the future of work demands. If you want to lead in a way that retains talent, builds trust, and sustains growth, this book shows you how.”

“We’ve spent decades refining strategy and purpose. What Angela reveals in Meaning Over Purpose is what happens when those ideas fail to land. Her concept of the Purpose-to-Meaning Gap is essential reading for anyone serious about achieving results through a highly engaged and resilient workforce. It’s time we led differently. And this book shows us how.”

“What if the workplace became a catalyst for self-actualization and human flourishing? This is the delightful question posed in this timely and important book. With clarity and compassion, Angela Rixon shows how leaders can design cultures that don’t just retain people, they help them grow, transcend, and matter. This is a powerful vision for the future of work, grounded in what it means to be fully human.”
