Understanding Company Purpose

Company purpose goes beyond a purpose statement. It is a larger concept that encompasses the idea of a stable and generalized intention to accomplish something meaningful and of consequence to the world beyond the self. Purpose is not about just having a mission statement, but about understanding the ideas and values that drive the organization. Purpose helps answer the why question, forcing companies to think deeply about their goals, markets, value, and impact. When purpose is clear and well-defined, it creates a framework for employees to connect the company's purpose with their personal purpose, leading to a more engaged and inspired workforce.
