By Staff Report

Jul. 13, 1999

The following are five business practices that can help you foster a stronger sense of purpose:


  1. Be a strong, inspirational leader who facilitates the success of your employees.
  2. Make your corporate mission clear and give people something to believe in at work.
  3. Create teams focused on well-defined goals with concrete deadlines, in which every member’s role is clear.
  4. Delegate 100 percent responsibility to every employee for something, anything … and let employees use that responsibility as proving ground to earn more responsibility.
  5. Give employees some room for creative expression in their work.
