ABSTRACT

Speaking to thousands of senior leaders over more than a decade, it is clear that there is a real yearning for having Purpose–impacting societal well-being–in our lives and work. The chapter explores how to go on the learning journey, becoming leaders that know how to affect change in society and our organisations and creating new career options for ourselves, with Purpose, for as long as we need or wish. It focuses on the rationale for why learning to develop our careers is a vital skill that we all need going forward, and why now really the time to create a Purpose-driven career is. Understanding of how to find Purpose–a direction–to pursue for life and work fulfilment is even more rare. To understand the underlying pattern of how executives successfully created Purpose-driven careers with Impact–and made a living when needed. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
