The Power of Purpose in Business | Ashley M. Grice | TED

What's a company's purpose? It's not the same as mission or vision, which change when leadership changes. Strategist Ashley M. Grice explains the power of purpose to push boundaries of innovation and bring clarity to every aspect of an organization, from the top floor to the shop floor.

Outstanding! So many leaders of organization forget the galvanizing basics. And leaders need to be crisp on the basics.

Life Is Change. Growth Is Optional. Choose Wisely.

Purpose is the real drive of every intention. Thanks Sarah, Thanks M. Grice. I was really hungry for your wisdom.

[ChrisMunichful]

Spot on, Ashley!!! So true, purpose gives clarity to all aspects of a corporate strategy .... especially within this time of continuous challenge. And: Love your stories.

[shelleybridgman-DaretobeYou]

Thank you Ashley. You articulate both the power and challenge of purpose in action.

[intinaveritas]

Thank you for the clear words. I noticed that often many empty words are used on the topic of knowledge management and there is hardly any meaning behind them. That was not the case here. Thank you for your contribution!

This is an extraordinary commentary. A book I read with related themes was a catalyst for new beginnings. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

S:
Starts with storytelling that effectively grabbed the audience's attention.
The story she told had significance that she used to segue into her point
Used TV as a visual aid to display the written note (Use of props)
Tonality in voice correlates well to the points she wanted to emphasize
Decent eye contact with camera and crowd
Gesturing correlates with points/expressions

W:
Small stage restricts her movement, she stood still and feels very stiff
Other than the TV, no other aids were used. (Perhaps this was intentional so as to keep attention on her)
She spent excessive time explaining one point, audience may have lost interest

O:
Already had a TV, perhaps she could have used this to a stronger extent to better maintain audience attention.
She may have been able to use other tactics such as question asking, hypothetical scenario setting in her talks.

T:
Limits herself as she mostly uses storytelling to engage audience
Stories she shared may not have properly correlated to point she was trying to make
Some of her gesturing can make her seemed closed off (6:02 – 6:19)
Facial expression lacking, feels monotonous

Great! And this sounds like Simon Sinek!

Thanx for understanding the inner and deeper emotion of that flight attendant and explaining it to us👏👏👏

[aSHTEBALA]

When it comes to the world of investing, most people don't know where to start. Fortunately great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance..

May remember and recite a song you know think you like to sing, hum or sing along as it happens or think of it might like to hear. So what we hear as what we're to do is try to listen, trying to read, say something type a word or two. Getting out of writing, paper as it may be useful is now a way we spam one another with waste. It is what it is, thinking though of this word one after the next, more than that to know about. Once start to talk about getting to know what should be obsolete is what we do in thwarting, serving continuity, and lacking changes necessary to say in the future innovation has happened and we no longer talk as much conversation that gossip may not gospel. Cutting it out not having to be said as much. No longer will we approach one say a joke, be sarcastic... things we should not let happen. It is for us to communicate not to teach be confused with preach. *WE ALL CAN*; what it is we do's learn people and *people learn people*, *people learn us*, and we learn them. What purpose we serve normalcy *CNN* what we do not think about, how a building come to be, what is done there, because it is normal is why we can now think what's normal about *New Beginnings* then where to begin. Why we are here and what we can do about it. We desire not to destroy, destroy is what the relationship with other than the self does more often than not what love is a strong desire that isn't hate 🆘️

A heavy bag of almonds given by an employee... while the executives of this US company would smile at you (that you've been given their "highest attention"), in the background, maybe they even fire that employee, for giving you more than you've paid for. So, since disclosing Sarah's kindness in return, in the best case, she will not be promoted for a while... or given a raise...

[Artoconnell]

Thats business class. The Flight attendant was actually tired from beating the serfs in the back.

[ronaldlogan]

successful people know to exploit even a random act of kindness on the part of an employee in order to make money for the corporation for which they work. The purpose of the corporation is to make money, and reducing an employee to nothing more than extension of the CEO is a perfect example.

Nice "all seeing eye" necklace! 😔
