Blog Post: The Power of Purpose

What's Power of Purpose? In the game, we provide a safe space for people to explore their own strengths, weaknesses and hidden talents and learn how to use this new understanding to solve problems (or avoid creating additional challenges).  I call this the Power of Purpose.

Imagine an employee who knows exactly how he or she would react to a specific business or ethical dilemma, and responded consistently every time. Is this possible? Is this desirable? Would you want this person on your team? Yes, it is possible and yes, I'd love to have this person on my team!  Especially if the employee knows his/her own strengths, weaknesses and hidden talents and identifies which of these is best for resolving the dilemma. This is the Power of Purpose - acting with full understanding of the desired outcome and the available skills or talents.

If we could only hire those who are completely connected to their purpose - completely aware of their own strengths, weaknesses and hidden talents - life would be great!  Those that are fully aligned with their true skills are the most happy, productive and efficient.

I don't know if Cliff and I finished the strategizing on how to market the ethics game, but I took another step further in understanding my own true skills!
