About the Course
Over the past years, there's been an explosion of interest in purpose-driven leadership. Academics and business experts make the case that purpose is a key to exceptional leadership and the pathway to greater wellbeing. However, Harvard Business School found that fewer than 20% of leaders have a strong sense of their own individual purpose. Even fewer can distil their purpose into a concrete statement. They may be able to clearly articulate their organization’s mission but find it hard. As a result, they limit their aspirations and often fail to achieve their most ambitious professional and personal goals.
The purpose of this course is to change that - to help executives find and define their leadership purpose and put it to use. With the Purpose-Driven Leadership course, we believe that the process of articulating your purpose and finding the courage to live it is the single most important developmental task you can undertake as a leader.
Learning Objectives

- Develop a leadership style personalized to your own strengths and values
-
Engage your organization's stakeholders — employees, suppliers, customers, communities, etc. — setting the right goals, making collaborative decisions and creating an environment that honors your shared sense of purpose
