PURPOSE
Engaging Individuals, Groups, and Organizations in the Mutual Pursuit of Meaningful Leadership and Growth.
80%
of executives
say their role as purpose-driven leaders is becoming key
brandeins, 2022
When it comes to leadership, so much of what we consider to be common sense has yet to become common practice. Like knowing why your company exists or simply valuing your
employees' well-being as much as their well-doing.
When asked to define the ideal leader, many would emphasize traits associated with a pop-cultural idea of a "successful" (and typically male) boss, such as intelligence, toughness, determination, and vision. Other capabilities, commonly referred to as "soft skills", are often left off the list. That's because in our hyper-optimized and data-worshipping business world, purpose, mindfulness, self-care, empathy and vulnerability can sound unbusinesslike.
Research shows: The soft stuff gets you the hard stuff. Without these key attributes, a person can have first-class training, an incisive mind, and an endless supply of good ideas, but he or she still won't be a great leader.
purpose (pûr′pəs) | noun
1. The meaning of a firm’s work beyond quantitative measures of financial performance. 2. Passion and skill in the service of others.
At Pepper Consulting, we see purpose not necessarily as the answer, but more as the fundamental question to attain a fresh perspective on leadership – one that is rooted in meaning rather than a means to an end.
Purpose-driven leadership is a proven concept that views leadership not as a sub-topic under the banner of management, but as a core
tenant informing all business disciplines. In other words: Management is about things, leadership is about people.
A clearly articulated and shared sense of purpose helps propel businesses forward, whatever the weather. Plugging into a higher purpose strongly correlates with higher financial performance, as well as greater employee satisfaction and customer loyalty.
Purpose-Driven Leadership
Operationalizing your highest ambition into behavior you want to see.
We've been talking about this forever, and yet somehow our organizations aren't changing, or only very slowly. The real challenge here is not so much an awareness gap, but a resolution gap: Knowing how to confront cultural inertia to make purposeful behaviors the norm in a company. That's where we can help.
