Why is delivering against purpose so hard to do and what lessons can we learn from successful leaders who’ve done it?

Studies show that purposeful companies grow 3x faster, their share price outperforms the market 12x and their people are not only less likely to leave, but are happier and more satisfied in their work too. But if the benefits are so clear, why are many companies still struggling to achieve this? And what can their leaders do differently?

Session Context:

We invited a couple of our friends and partners at T-minus to explore this topic. Some of big themes that came out included:

The difference between ‘having a purpose’ and creating an organisation where people feel ‘purposeful’
The ways you can build a purposeful organisation at scale
The difference between mission and purpose and whether it matters
Why purpose is so important for people and organisations (and what’s driving this growing need for people to find it at work)
Practical examples of what you can do on the front line to build a sense of purpose to motivate individuals
