Task significance is a term that refers to when an expert person has a positive impact on others. The influence exerted correctly on others can lead to the creation of positive results. In the case of Mr. Pierson, seeing that one of his students is appointed CEO of a multinational corporation was able to experience the task significance.

Any person can have task significance, no matter what position they are in since the important thing is to contribute positively to the development and growth of others. In one of the areas where this occurs most is in the workplace, where an employee is allowed to have a positive impact on the rest, which translates as growth for both people and the company.
