There’s a revolution happening. Customers, employees, and investors are no longer satisfied with companies providing good products, good prospects, and good profits—they want them to do some social good, too. Purpose-driven companies do better on nearly every traditional metric: greater customer loyalty, higher retention, more innovation, and a healthier bottom line.
But a nice mission statement and a corporate responsibility agenda won’t make your company stand out. This book shows you how to get a real competitive advantage by engaging your employees and customers around your purpose.
Using scores of real-world examples and practical exercises, The Purpose Revolution helps leaders find a truly authentic purpose, one that is a natural fit for them and their organization. It describes concrete actions you can take to ensure that purpose is deeply embedded in your leadership and organizational culture- so that employees own it, customers and recruits connect with it, and every corporate action and activity reflects it.
Once you find and communicate an inspiring purpose, your organization will be revitalized, top to bottom. Harnessing the power of purpose in an age of social good makes business more rewarding in every sense- for employees, customers, and investors.
