The Purposeful StrategistAuthor: Belden Menkus
I want to shift the discussion about organisational purpose from being about what organisations and leaders should do, to take a practical look at what they are doing now. We hear how business leaders across a range of industries think about purpose, and we explore how they make purpose a building block of their business strategy. Through our conversations, we get their insider tips on the how of bringing purpose and strategy to life.
