The satisfaction that we get from someone actively seeking our ideas and knowing that our opinions count is fundamental to building commitment. The fourth step is to give workers opportunities for personal growth. The last stage in engaging commitment s to provide a context within which workers can find meaning, make a difference and be of service. This context is called a vision. A vision is a statement of intention regarding an end goal that an individual, team or organization wants to achieve.
Organizational visions can be powerful unifying forces or sources of cynicism.
A vision attracts cynicism when these two conditions are not met. The resonance we feel when we are able to align our purpose or our mission with an overarching vision comes from the soul. The power of purpose multiplies exponentially when we are able to connect with the energies of the soul. When an organization is able to create a corporate culture that meets these four conditions physical, emotional, mental and spiritual fulfillment the organization s and the workers values come into alignment. This alignment is the source of the power of purpose.
