The OpEd in Sunday’s New York Times called “Why You Hate Work” blew up the Internet and touched a nerve with people all over the country.
The single biggest variable impacting why we hate work? No sense of purpose.
Businesses without a “Noble Purpose” are rapidly hemorrhaging profits, talent, and brand loyalty.
A few weeks ago the Wall Street Journal chronicled Merrill Lynch leader John Theil’s annual address to his more than 13,700 financial advisers and his mission to find Merrill’s “Noble Purpose.” And he’s not the only one.
Why? Businesses with a “Noble Purpose” outperform companies that focus on traditional sales targets by almost 400%.
Sales leadership consultant Lisa Earle McLeod, who created the popular business concept, “Noble Purpose” has been circling the globe to advise Fortune 500 corporations on how to create an employee culture that not only dramatically outperforms organizations focusing on traditional sales targets, but nearly doubles employee job satisfaction as well.
McLeod’s bestselling book, “Selling with Noble Purpose” is on the desks of many C-Suite Executives, including John Thiel, leader of Merrill Lynch and Ryan Holmes, founder of Hootsuite.
