How To Reinforce Purpose On Your Team

Finding ways to reinforce purpose on a daily basis can be difficult. So, in this episode, we’ll review three ways that you can frame that purpose in a team that will help them internalize your purpose. It will reinforce it, and it will help your people feel like they are actually working toward something bigger than themselves—even when they’re focused on the day-to-day tasks. People don’t want to join a company; they want to join a crusade or a cause—and these three frames (these three “fights”) will help your team reinforce their purpose and feel that sense of cause: The Revolutionary Fight The Underdog Fight The Ally Fight This is not an exhaustive list of the ways that you can frame your organization’s purpose to reinforce it to your team. But these are the three that are most aligned with the psychological research on teams and motivation. The revolutionary fight. The underdog fight. The ally fight. They all add up to a powerful way to reframe why your organization came into existence, why it needs to continue to exist, and more importantly, why people are doing the tasks that they’ve been asked to do on a day-to-day basis. It all adds up to a powerful way to reinforce purpose, not just on your team, not just on individuals, but throughout the entire organization. //ABOUT DAVID One of the world’s leading business thinkers, David Burkus’ forward-thinking ideas and bestselling books are helping leaders and teams do their best work ever.
