Why Take The Power of your Quest
When a company focuses on making meaningful change in the world, it stokes employees’ passion, inspires them, and injects powerful significance into their work. A clear quest defines why your organization exists; it guides people through change and volatility, encourages emotional commitment, and motivates people to lead from wherever they are. Beyond strategies, mission statements, and goals, a quest is why people get out of bed in the morning and come to work every day. The Power of your Quest will help you lead, motivate, and inspire others by establishing a guiding light for your team and organization.
