Why over What: Using Purpose to Drive your Success A 2017 study from Northwestern finds that people who have a purpose in life benefit from a better night’s sleep, and lots of previous research has confirmed that having a purpose outside yourself is good not only for your mental health, it’s also good for your physical health, longevity and even your genes. In 2015, Ernst and Young sponsored the creation of a Harvard Business Review Analytics Services report titled “The Business Case for Purpose”. In that report, researchers determined that most successful companies have a purpose, a “why” they exist to do what they do, which is different from “what” they do as their day to day business. The Kellogg Company manufactures and sells food products, but they describe their purpose as “nourishing families so they can flourish and thrive.” If you were an employee, supplier, customer, or investor, wouldn’t you feel good about “nourishing families so they can flourish and thrive”?
