<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Place a compelling purpose at the heart of your business strategy with this inspiring framework for organisational success.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book is about how great leaders can make purpose the beating heart of their organization and use it to power performance. Leaders who communicate a defined mission, alongside clear and genuine values, allow their employees to feel a sense of purpose in their roles and embody their company's vision. This inspires engagement, loyalty and higher performance. <b><i>People with Purpose</i> </b>brings together a wide range of compelling research into how having a clearly defined purpose as part of business strategy is a vital element in business success, longevity and inspired teams. <p/><i><b>People with Purpose</b> </i>shows leaders how to create a valuable framework that integrates purpose, values and goals on a single page in order to articulate their organization's unique vision to employees and stakeholders. <b>Kevin Murray</b> interviews top CEOs who have used purpose to transform performance, motivate their people, develop organizational resilience and deliver results - often from the very edge of disaster. These leaders share how they have articulated their purpose, their values and their goals. <i><b>People with Purpose</b> </i>also looks at the work of neuroscientists, brings together the evidence from around the world that proves purpose powers performance, and shows why purpose matters more in a digitally connected and transparent world. More than 30 case studies are explored from exclusive interviews with leaders from a range of organizations, including Odeon and UCI Cinemas, Healthcare at Home, Yodel, Moss Bros and Virgin Atlantic.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>People with Purpose </i>is an inspiring, fresh and lucid account of how strong values can be transformative of the performance of diverse organisations, improving profitability of businesses, increasing effectiveness of service delivery and nurturing unrealised talent.
