Show notes
In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, we have a couple of presentations and a panel discussion on the theme of ‘how and why to define your core purpose’. Do not underestimate the power of galvanising your team around a purpose. The longer I’ve been in business and the more businesses we have worked with, it is clear that those with a strong sense of core values and core purpose are the ones that succeed over time and go further than the others. They also tend to be the most resilient in challenging times! Purpose-driven workers are 54 percent more likely to stay for five years at a company and 30 percent more likely to grow into high performers than those who arrive at work with only their paycheck as the motivator. In this episode, Louise guides us through what we need to think about and we bring in additional perspectives from Stu Avis of Audacious Creative and Lizzy Bernthal of Release Your Potential about their thoughts on core purpose, as well as an excellent piece on integrity by Lizzy. The episode is wrapped up with a panel discussion where a group of business owners discuss their take on core purpose and the importance to their businesses.
