    Excerpts from this conversation with Paul ter Wal

     

    You know your own core values, know your own non negotiables? Who are you? What are you standing for, then be sure that you are aligned with the core values, the mission and vision of the organization. Because that's the base. Walk your talk. If you can't walk the talk of the organization, you can't be a good leader.

    The advantages of having engaged employees are very important for profitability. So it's no longer Well, if you don't like it anymore, go away, we will find somebody else. Now the employer has to work on engagement to get the retention.

    -----

    Simon Sinek and Aristotle told us a long time ago that you need to find your why.

    And I think younger people are much more aware of the question.

    Why am I doing what I'm doing? Is that what really gets me fun? So yeah, it's it's not that they don't like the money.

    But it was for a long time, the absolute number one, work hard, be successful be ribs.

    Now it is seeking purpose, work hard, and maybe you will be successful. So what we teach older employees and older people thought after fighting wars, that we said, well, we need well being we need more money, we want to have more material.

    They have it all. They have a car, they're have a house. So then the only stuff is not in material is not a money. It's more in why am I doing this? What is what is my purpose in life.

    And I think that change too, because we became less religious, less connected to Protestant, Roman, Catholic, Anglican, communist socialist, we add those core values that were put upon us, by others in church or whatever, that's gone, especially in Europe.

    It's gone. You need to find your own why. And I think that's one of the reasons that a lot of younger people have mental issues as well. They are looking for, why am I doing what I'm doing?

    What is my purpose in life? Why am I here? And normally, the priest or the vicar will tell you why you were here. I think over the years spotted the genius at still now that changed. And that's what I see. I'm becoming much more aware of it.

    That suddenly we want to know what our core values as negotiables are. And then it's Our individual core values. And that is connecting to your why.
