Putting Purpose Back Into Work with John Qualls


Listen Later

For any organization to be truly purpose-driven, it needs to become a movement, not just a move. In other words, it cannot simply be a mission statement we put on the office wall or include in emails. It must have deeper roots than that.

For this episode, I (Kyle) chat with John Qualls, the CEO and President of Purpose HQ about putting purpose back into work. As we talk, we discuss one of the biggest issues in building our businesses: finding people who are as purpose-driven as our business. John also shares about understanding your superpower, evaluating what's next, moving from checkers to chess, and surrounding yourself with challengers.

“It’s not about you against them. It’s about us against the problem… That means you’ve got to build a team who can bring all these different perceptions around that problem so that you can get to a better solution.” -- John Qualls
