Leadership
Building Purpose into You, Your Role and Your Organization
A business leader that is committed to purpose will create purpose for the organization. An employee that feels his/her personal sense of purpose is being fulfilled at work will be an invaluable asset to productivity and success. An organization centered on purpose will benefit every stakeholder, from employees to society in general.
In this Soundview Live webinar, Building Purpose into You, Your Role and Your Organization, Dan Pontefract discusses the three crucial areas of purpose: personal, organizational and workplace role. If all three can come to fruition–if there is a positive interconnection between the three distinct definitions of purpose–the benefits should be felt by employees, teams, the organization, customers, and perhaps most importantly, society as a whole.
