🌟 Scaling with Purpose: The Difference Between Purpose and Mission 🌟

In our latest episode of the Scaling with Purpose Kit Series, we dive into the core principles that set the foundation for a resilient and impactful organization:

Purpose vs. Mission. These two guiding forces, while often used interchangeably, play very different roles in shaping company culture, growth, and long-term success.

🔹 Purpose is the enduring "why"—the reason your organization exists and the deeper impact it aims to have on the world.

🔹 Mission is the actionable "what" and "how"—the goals, products, and services that bring purpose to life and adapt over time.

Join hosts Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa as they explore:

+ How to define purpose vs. mission to ensure they align but don't overlap.

+ Practical steps for creating synergy between purpose and mission in daily decision-making.

+ Tips on fostering a purpose-driven culture that naturally elevates shareholder value and keeps everyone moving toward shared goals.

Listen in to understand why these distinctions matter and how purpose can act as your organization’s North Star, guiding you through change while staying true to your core values.

🚀 Tune in to gain insights on building a sustainable, purpose-driven business that inspires both your team and your stakeholders.
