What is purposeful leadership?

Louisa Baczor

In her latest blog, our Head of Research, Ksenia Zheltoukhova, discusses why organisations are trying to become more purpose-driven, and the leadership traits that are important in helping businesses to achieve this. What does purposeful leadership mean to you? And what other leadership characteristics are important for building a human future of work?

  • Perhaps a more telling question would be "What is purposeless leadership?"

    "Purposeful leadership" sounds like a clear tautology to me. Perhaps "purposeful management" could be more usefully discussed, as we all know it's possible to manage like crazy with no purpose what so ever.

    I do like Robey's suggestion of 'purposeful management' or managers. Some people rise up the hierarchy almost by default and being 'purposeless'. In order to embrace 'a set of high-level values, mirrored by healthy ethical cultures inside workplaces' you need commitment and INTENT, which would set a leader apart from a manager. Leaders can of course be evident anywhere in an organisation - and beyond any job description.
