🔥 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 🔥 In many organizations, we’ve flipped the script—building teams first, drafting roles, and hoping purpose will emerge along the way. But true alignment doesn’t start with charters or objectives—it starts with need. As our Senior Consultant, Igor Gorlatov, explores in his latest article, purpose isn’t invented—it’s discovered. It’s the fire that draws people together, that gives roles meaning, and turns tasks into meaningful contributions. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞: ✅ Roles become fluid yet essential ✅ Trust grows naturally ✅ Meetings gain gravity and focus Without it? Even success can feel hollow. 👉 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐈𝐠𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: https://lnkd.in/e2hrf-6a Let’s stop building teams hoping for purpose to show up. Instead, let’s start where it all begins: with the fire. #Leadership #TeamAlignment #PurposeDriven #OrganizationalDevelopment

🎯 "Success can become your biggest obstacle to growth." In our latest conversation, Brian Formato and Igor Gorlatov explore a fascinating leadership paradox: the "𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬." True scaling requires leaders to make themselves "redundant" - a counterintuitive but crucial shift for those with a hero mindset. As Brian explains, the journey from being the star player to becoming an effective coach means moving from "I" to "we" to "they."
