Too many companies have deployed purpose as a promotional vehicle to make themselves feel virtuous & look good to the outside world. The insincerity behind efforts like these are, of course, easily spotted by both outsiders & insiders (employees most importantly) leading them to feeling jaded \u2013 & to losing trust in the management team that attempted the deception.Despite all the harm that past efforts at establishing organizational purpose have caused, Harvard Business School professor, Ranjay Gulati, believes the time has come for companies to try again \u2013 this time with a sincere commitment. He argues that the pursuit of profits without purpose is no longer a sustainable business model. And in his new bestseller, \u201cDeep Purpose,\u201d he says \u201cthe road to high performance, for both individuals and companies, depends on deepening our connection to enduring & essential human values. He adds, \u201cpurpose isn\u2019t a \u2018nice-to-have\u2019 in the business world anymore. It\u2019s a \u2018must-have.\u2019\u00a0As Gulati argues, a deeper engagement with purpose holds the key not merely to the well-being of individual companies but also to humanity\u2019s future. With capitalism under siege & relatively low levels of trust in business, purpose can serve as a radically new operating system for the enterprise, enhancing performance while also delivering meaningful benefits to society. It\u2019s the kind of inspired thinking that businesses\u2014& the rest of us\u2014urgently need.Tapping into extensive research, Ranjay Gulati shows how companies can embed purpose much more deeply than they currently do, delivering impressive performance benefits that reward customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, & communities alike.To get purpose right, leaders must fundamentally change not only how they execute it but also how they conceive of & relate to it. They must practice what Gulati calls\u00a0deep purpose, furthering each organization\u2019s reason for being more intensely, thoughtfully, & comprehensively than ever before.Is accomplishing this in most companies even possible?\u00a0 Will top CEOs take these ideas seriously?\u00a0 Listen in as Ranjay explains why every business\u2019s survival will be at stake if they don\u2019t.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/ranjay-gulati-why-purpose-is-the-heart-and-soul-of-high-performance-teams\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/ranjay-gulati-why-purpose-is-the-heart-and-soul-of-high-performance-teams\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/ranjay-gulati-why-purpose-is-the-heart-and-soul-of-high-performance-teams\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/staging-wmplo.xyz\/mark-c-divi5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Ranjay-Gulati-1000-2.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/staging-wmplo.xyz\/mark-c-divi5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Ranjay-Gulati-1000-2.jpg","width":667,"height":667},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/ranjay-gulati-why-purpose-is-the-heart-and-soul-of-high-performance-teams\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/staging-wmplo.xyz\/mark-c-divi5\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Ranjay Gulati: Why Purpose Is The Heart And Soul Of High Performance Teams"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/","name":"Mark C.
