Pontos Principais

  • Purpose can be found anywhere, and leaders are not always more likely to find purpose in their work. In addition from the above, I will draw from the Ted Radio Hour podcast on the meaning of work as well as other related work;
  • When purpose is found, not only work performance, but also life satisfaction are higher;
  • Purpose is closely tied to leaving a legacy (or impact of life), especially the older and more senior people get.

Resumo

What motivates you? According to Dan Pink’s Drive, three important factors in motivation are autonomy, mastery, and purpose. In this talk, I briefly talk these three aspects of motivation. I will then dive into purpose, and how to find purpose in work. For many people, purpose is derived from understanding how their work fits into the larger picture: the company’s priorities or a positive impact on society. For others, it is a personal sense of purpose. In The Big Five for Life, John Strelecky tells a fable of how leaders can inspire purpose in their organizations by encouraging everyone to find what their own personal purpose in life is. I will share examples of the power of purposeful work, and some lessons of what happens in those times when purpose is hard to find.
