ABSTRACT

Purpose Meets Execution is the organizational culture and mindset, supported by the right leadership, values, actions, and people, that creates profitable and sustainable businesses. The heart of Purpose Meets Execution is the idea that accelerated engagement of people drives organizational results. Without a culture of high engagement, only limited success is possible. The need for people in your business to understand how their personal purpose connects to the larger organizational purpose is key to this engagement and alignment. In a commercial business, profit is a mandatory element to fulfilling an organization's purpose, regardless of the industry or geographical location. In not-for-profit organizations, the same principle applies to fundraising. An organizational purpose is fulfilled only when it is fueled by executional excellence. To make a meaningful and sustainable positive impact on the customers, community, and the world, one must have a clear purpose and run a great business.
