In the modern world, we are living in, with a highly competitive business landscape and a tough global economic condition, inspiring our workforce to work for our organization can be a challenge. However, we can overcome this challenge by ensuring that our employees find meaning in what they do every day, and that this meaning is aligned with their values, passions, experience, and skills. Leaders have a crucial role in facilitating this alignment. They need to ensure that their organization answers the BIG question of "Why" and the small question of "Why" for every employee.
To achieve this, leaders need to facilitate and lead meaningful conversations about what their organization stands for, what inspires them to wake up every morning, and how their contributions can positively impact society. These conversations need to happen cross-functionally and on all levels, from top-down and bottom-up. The goal is to create a shared sense of purpose and align every employee's purpose with their role in the team and the organization.
It's essential to equip team leaders in the organization with the skills to have these conversations with their team members. By understanding team member's purpose in life and aligning it with their role in the team and the organization, leaders can help team members find fulfillment in their work. Leaders can also make efforts to change team members' roles to align with their passion and values, as long as it makes business sense and develop their skills to support their purpose and help them plan their career accordingly.
When leaders lead their organizations to create these meaningful and important conversations, it can positively impact their strategic objectives and business goals. Identifying purpose on the organizational, team, and individual levels helps the organization aim at big goals and overcome bigger challenges, which are much needed these days, considering the world's situation on the economic, political, technological, and societal fronts. Identifying purpose and living it practically in business can also help the organization attract top talents and retain them and attract loyal customers and retain them.
To start these conversations as a leader, start having them with your leadership team and create plans to expand this circle to cover the whole organization over time. This approach will ensure that every employee finds meaning and purpose in their work, leading to better engagement, retention, and business results.
