Leading with Purpose

February 23, 2023

 

ABOUT THE SESSION

Most business and organizations developed mission statements for their institutions. However very few leaders are able to identify their own purpose and more importantly develop action plans to implement it. There is clearly a need to identify the “why?” (Purpose) first, before articulating the “how” (Processes) and the “what” (Actions).

The seminar will focus on ‘Purpose to Impact’ process by presenting a step-by-step framework which can be considered for practical use. It is hoped that business leaders in Myanmar adopt a Purpose-Driven Leadership Style as they navigate and address the challenges, complexities and uncertainties.
