I find it fascinating that of the Five Steps to Leadership Growth, “Purpose” got 10 times as many “hits” on LinkedIn as the other four steps. What is the fascination with purpose? What makes it illusive? How do we find our own unique purpose? Why is it so important to leadership? In the framework I use with leaders in their development, it’s the first step. As you grow in your leadership – honing your “Power of One,” this framework can help both you and those you are developing to stay on course:
1. Purpose
2. Perception
3. Plan
4. Performance
5. Perpetuation
The attached HBR article is an excellent resource to assist you as a leader in identifying and articulating your purpose. Use these tools for yourself, and for those you lead. Enjoy!
