Nikos Mourkogiannis on purpose: “Purpose is preparation for doing what is right and what is worthwhile. As such it creates a sense of obligation. But this obligation is not a weight or a drag in any way—it’s a way of knowing what you can and can’t do. Because Purpose provides certainty, it also provides confidence. All of that comes together to contribute to a firm’s competitive advantage. ‘Do the right thing and do well’—a new way of saying ‘Do well by doing good.’” Source: Purpose: The Starting Point of Great Companies * * * Look for these ideas every Thursday on the Leading Blog.
