Imagine If You Could

Today’s change is unlike any we have encountered before. It has proven to be faster, more complex, and more disruptive than ever expected. The rules of change have forever shifted. Qualitative change is winning out over quantitative change. The conversation is about creating wealth not profits. Individuals and organizations are making the shift from “me” to “we” pulled forward by a desire to contribute to the world.

No change happens without a group of people coming together to support it. Building a great team capable of significant change is at the heart of qualitative change. Organizations and their employees are rethinking their priorities. Employees are reconsidering the kind of work that they are doing. They are looking for organizations that offer healthier more purposeful opportunities that align with their own personal purpose. Today’s employees expect their work to bring a sense of purpose to their lives. Organizations who cannot meet this need will lose talent to organizations that can. There is a new playbook.

Organizations are being challenged to rethink their responsibilities. To be curious. To recognize that qualitative change starts with shifting the mindsets of our leaders. It’s about purposeful leadership. Where leaders are creating opportunities and challenging people to achieve what they never thought they could. Building teams with the ability to see beyond the limitations of the present and that have the capacity to act balancing big strategy and rigorous execution. All to do good in service to a purpose.

Tackling complicated change is always a challenge but there’s always a way. It takes creativity, courage and relentless focus but the prize is big. Purposeful organizations creating opportunities for people to be valued, to be heard, to be seen as a prerequisite for growth, true wealth creation, and a better future for us all.
