From one of the most respected names in business and leadership,a rare look at the specifics of how great leaders achieve "commonpurpose" and success within their organizations.
What is common purpose? It is that rare, almost-palpableexperience that happens when a leader coalesces a group, team orcommunity into a creative, dynamic, brave and nearly invinciblewe. It happens the moment the organization's values, tools,objectives and hopes are internalized in a way that enables peopleto work tirelessly toward a goal. Common purpose is rarelyachieved. But Kurtzman has observed that when a leader is able tobring it about, the results are outsized, measurable andinspiring.
