S2 Ep1: What is Purpose-Driven Leadership?

Leadership Learned

People want more from their organizations and their leaders.
Following Covid, The Great Resignation, and the cost of living crisis, it has become more important for people to have work with meaning. Similarly, the organizations that can align what they do with a reason for doing it - their 'Why' - have found great success.
It comes down to Purpose: finding it, and being driven by it.
Here's some stats we mention in the episode:

• Companies with a strong sense of purpose outperform the market by 42%
• Purpose-oriented employees are 54% more likely to stay at a company for five years and are 30% more likely to be high performers
• Teams with a strong sense of purpose see a 41% reduction in absenteeism and a 17% increase in productivity
  

In the episode, we answer the following questions:

• What is Purpose-driven leadership?
• What are the benefits for organizations, leaders, teams and individuals?
• How can leaders identify and articulate a compelling purpose?
• What strategies can leaders use to align their team’s goals and daily activities with the organization’s purpose?
• What are the challenges leaders and organizations face when trying to instil purpose-driven leadership, and how can they be overcome?
• How do people adopt a purpose-driven approach?
