On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks about how to use passion to build a mission-driven team that thrives by creating a workplace where individuals aren’t just employees, they are contributors to a shared mission

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • You need to create a workplace culture where individuals find meaning, fulfilment & a shared purpose in their work. That in itself creates a happier people & a happier team. According to a Gallup study, teams with high employee engagement – where they are happier – experience 21% higher profitability.
  • Hire & develop passionate individuals. Building a mission-driven team starts with hiring individuals who are not just skilled, but passionate about the mission. Encourage continuous learning & personal development, & nurture & amplify that sense of passion or purpose that drives them towards the mission.
  • Foster a collaborative & inclusive culture where every team member feels valued and connected to the mission. This involves open communication, shared decision making * recognising individual contributors. This enhances innovation & creativity within your organisation.
  • Do an audit of your team. Which people in your team are or are not aligned with your mission? Do you have to drive them, or do they drive themselves?
