Show Notes
Having a purpose is not the same as a purpose statement. Purpose is an ideal. It is the reason you choose to exist. Professionally, it is why you go to work. Is it a job(money)? Is it a career (get ahead)? Is it a calling (gives you meaning)? Ranjay Gulati joins Kevin to discuss deep purpose at work. He believes it is the foundation for the organization and defines the work experience, including culture. When your organization believes in something, you move your team from not just satisfied or engaged to inspired. An inspired team does the work because they want to.
