Brief Summary of Episode #220
Leadership without purpose is like a ship without a rudder.
As Rilla Delorier, Board Director of Atlantic Union Bank, shared, true transformation and purpose go hand-in-hand.
“I think purpose is, by nature, transformational,” Rilla said. “I think a clear purpose can help people at all levels of the organization.”
A purpose-driven mindset is a catalyst for positive performance for your employees and your bottom line.
“Purpose translates into action… and, ultimately, translates into income,” Rilla told us.
Purpose-driven transformation doesn’t happen overnight. A clear vision is needed to carry it to fruition.
But, in time, it will pay dividends - personally and professionally.
“Sometimes, you need to be a little patient,” Rilla said. “You need to make investments that take a little while to pay off. But that’s where transformation comes from.”
By using purpose as a “North Star” to navigate the complexity of change, leaders can take ownership of the well-being of themselves, their teams, and their customers.
