Purpose as the Heart of High-Performing Teams

In this episode of Impactful Teamwork, host Julia Felton discusses the importance of having a clear and well-articulated purpose in business. Drawing from her book, 'Unbridled Business,' and insights from Simon Sinek's 'Start With Why,' Julia explains how purpose serves as the key pillar for team effectiveness, structure, and performance. She cites studies by Deloitte and other research indicating that purpose-driven companies not only achieve higher financial performance but also foster a strong sense of belonging among team members. The episode emphasises the significance of aligning all stakeholders with the business's purpose to reduce friction and drive productivity and profitability. Julia also invites listeners to join an upcoming webinar on transforming purpose into profit using her three-step framework. www.businesshorsepower.com/unbridled-impact00:00 Introduction to Purpose in Business02:11 The Power of Purpose03:27 Generational Perspectives on Purpose04:45 Simon Sinek's 'Start With Why'07:19 Purpose-Driven Collaboration11:16 Purpose and Profit12:15 Research on Purpose-Driven Companies16:38 The Aspirational Nature of Purpose17:42 Upcoming Webinar and Personal Insights21:37 Final Thoughts and InvitationConnect with Julia:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTake the IMPACTFUL Teamwork Quiz to assess your team's communication, creativity culture, goal clarity, and conflict resolution skills!Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on Spotify
