Mattering is more than just warm & fuzzy. It’s the game-changing new management skill set for the age of AI, a blueprint for navigating the wilds of Never Normal. 

After diving deep into the conversation between Ira Wolfe and Zach Mercurio, here are ten nuggets that'll reshape how you think about finding significance in your work and creating an environment where you truly matter.

1. It’s not just about what you do; it’s about who you are at work. 

2. Find your unique problem-solving groove! There's this sweet spot where your talents meet the world's needs, and it’s your job to hunt it down—with a little help from your mentors, of course.

3. So, you're the boss? Make your space a no-judgment zone for trial and error. Cultivate fertile ground for growth and innovation.

4. Here’s the kicker: our lives have both function and form. Employers, don’t just crunch numbers—get to grips with the real-life design behind your employees to keep that workplace buzzing.

5. Humans are your job! Helping people feel like they matter is every leader and manager's most important skill set. 

6. Leadership 101:  Leaders need to be the role models of the personal growth they want to see in their people. Own your oopsies and nurture your team’s well-being.

7. People with purpose pack the mightiest punch: it's not all soft and fluffy; it's strategically rational to leverage emotional intelligence.

8. The secret sauce to resilience? Believe it or not, it's self-belief, purpose, and relationships, not just gritting your teeth and barreling through.

9. Learn why self-awareness isn’t enough. It’s self-efficacy that really makes a difference.

10. Why asking youngsters "what do you want to be" is a really dumb question.
