The landscape of work is changing, yet people’s aspiration to build careers with moral value — that is, work that aligns with shared understandings of what’s right and good — remains constant. While doing so is difficult, it’s also worthwhile: Our careers take up an enormous amount of our time and energy, and it’s essential to feel that we’re creating careers aligned with our moral values.

In an influential paper published in the 1990s , Donald Hambrick and Gregory Fukutomi argued that CEOs experience "seasons" of their tenure.
