Summary:Ignite your employees' personal drive by connecting purpose to their work Living with purpose not only ignites an internal drive and creates energy and joy, it also increases our engagement at work, our commitment to our organization and our satisfaction with life overall. Once you have articulated this higher purpose, helping your employees connect to it unleashes a powerful level of intrinsic motivation, as illustrated through these quotes from the study: * "What gets me out of bed in the morning as far as employment goes is really understanding the (company's) long-term vision, believing in it and having a passion for it." * "This, to me, was like a self-fulfillment thing. The power of purpose can be fully harnessed in four steps: * Create an altruistic company purpose. * Identify your personal purpose - your internal compass. * Hire purpose-driven employees and/ or help current employees articulate their purpose. * Make a connection between an employee's purpose and the company purpose.
