Leaders are vital to the success of an organization because they provide the organization with a sense of direction and a sense of hope. Organizations rely on leaders to navigate their way through problems and build promising future. Leaders have a significant impact on everything from branding to culture and achieving organizational goals. Therefore, organizations should invest time and resources into developing them.
An organization achieves a sense of mission when its leadership is driven by a meaningful purpose that extends beyond revenue targets. This encourages teams to work together toward a common goal. When we identify the optimal balance between a person’s key result areas and their individual goals, we can create an organization that is committed to achieving the broader goal and executing flawlessly. Despite the geographical spread and the vicious business environment, a sense of high order purpose fosters teamwork, a sense of urgency, and encourages commitment.
As such, leaders must acquire skills that will enable them to articulate a mission-driven vision, align people to that vision, and champion execution that is firmly rooted in personal commitment.
