Why Purpose Is Critical To Driving Success | Leadership Espresso Shot 23

These days there’s a lot of discussion around what work will look like in a post-pandemic world. Most of that conversation tends to focus on whether employees will return to the office, continue to work remotely, or opt for a hybrid mix of the two. But in this latest installment of my Leadership Espresso Shot series on my leadership podcast, “Leadership Biz Cafe”, I make the case that what this past year has revealed is not just the necessity of flexibility in how we approach work, but the critical need to connect what we do to what matters to your employees.As I mention in this episode, I was inspired to talk about this topic after serving as the moderator for a virtual roundtable discussion with VPs and senior executives from the FinTech, multimedia, construction, and retail sectors on how they’ve navigated the past year and where their focus will be this year and beyond.Among the many things these senior leaders agreed on was that the days of everyone working in the office during regular office hours are now over and going forward they need to get comfortable leading a workforce that works both in the office and remotely. And key to that new leadership reality was being more attuned to the needs of their employees and making sure they’re truly present to help them adjust to this new reality to how their organization will operate.And so, in this 23rd edition of my Leadership Espresso Shot series, I make the case for why purpose more than where and when employees work is what will be the critical factor to whether your organization succeeds this year and in the years to come.https://open.spotify.com/episode/54IrILT5EFTUmUbeQBSx5h Hosted on Acast.
