Under Jeff's leadership, Vertex became an essential cog in the commerce machine, relied upon by more than ten thousand of the largest companies in the world.In July of 2020, after Jeff's retirement as CEO in 2017, Vertex went public on the NASDAQ stock exchange and is now valued in the billions. It is a great American success story-but telling that story is not the purpose of this book.Behind this success story is another, more complex story of how a leader found, then lost and found again, meaning in his life and work-and how, by helping his employees create meaning in work as seemingly meaningless as sales tax software, he helped his company survive challenges and thrive.Today, Jeff is a seasoned executive, entrepreneur, philanthropist, corporate culture enthusiast, and conservationist. In addition to leading Vertex for two decades, he has founded two new ventures-MeaningSphere(R) and Mosaic(TM)-as he continues to give back and encourage others to create meaning in their learning and working lives.","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Jeffrey Westphal \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":48641314979997,"sku":"9798900520575","price":26.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_ac519323-6454-4e65-8d6c-98b893040812.jpg?v=1784106362","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/a-work-life-worth-living-your-guide-to-creating-a-meaningful-career-9798900520575","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
