Ch. 8 Values and Purpose

When we align with our values and purpose we are more motivated, enjoy our work more and have a greater chance of success. When we align with our organization’s values and purpose we help it succeed. We can create meaningful ways to have employees reflect on their values and connect them with their organization’s purpose. These efforts can lead to as much as a 29% improvement in business results. This demonstrates the power of sincere reflection and alignment on an individual and organizational level. To create a meaningful values statement, organizations need to facilitate bottom up dialogues that include all employees.
