Your Purpose
Your purpose is your “road map,” your unwavering sense of purpose that keeps you going in the right direction even when the way forward seems fraught with uncertainty.
ELEMENT 2.3: YOUR PURPOSE
“In essence, leadership is the sense of calling to a higher purpose.”
–Amit Ray
YOUR GUIDING LIGHT
In a world that is increasingly volatile, complex, and confusing, purpose is the guiding light that keeps us focused and on track to achieving our highest goals. However, many leaders struggle to identify exactly what their purpose is. In Nick Craig and Scott A. Snook’s extensive work with executives, they’ve found that fewer than 20 percent of leaders can clearly identify their individual purpose, and even fewer than that can articulate their purpose in a powerful statement.
When we work with an unclear purpose, our aspirations become stunted and we fail to reach our ultimate goals in any area of our lives.
–The Rik Samhita
YOUR LEADERSHIP PURPOSE
In order to truly transform as a leader, you need to discover and clearly define your highest purpose. Once you do so, you’ll find the key to enacting transformational growth in all areas of your life.
Your leadership purpose encapsulates your unique individuality. It should address not “what you do” but the “how” and “why” behind your actions. It is only by understanding the “how” and “why” that you can create a purpose statement that guides you through any challenging situations you may confront.
YOUR KEY QUESTIONS
Some key questions to consider when defining your purpose are:
- What did you love doing as a child? How did it make you feel?
- What were your biggest challenges in your life, and how did they shape you?
- What do you do now in your life that makes you feel most like yourself?
Working from your answers to these questions, you will create a clear and inspiring statement of purpose for your life. Once you have crystallised your purpose into words, you’ll find it much easier to put your aspirations into action and to navigate with more assurance through complex and difficult challenges.
