Up-Close with Chin Teik: Re-Think
Constancy of Purpose
In these challenging times (VUCA), it is important for any organization (profit or non-profit) to have a Constancy of Purpose to match & align for focused execution to organization's vision & 3 strategic priorities.
Constancy of Purpose includes:
- Anchor (Why) & Values (for decision-making)
- Compass ( Where - direction) & Strategic Objectives (success measures to keep performance on track)
- 3 Strategic Priorities (What) & Culture of Execution (How)
Constancy of Purpose provides:
- A match between individual's why-where-how-what to an organization's why-where-how-what for hiring
- Alignment of individual's tasks to the purpose and vision of an organization to provide meaning to work
- Prioritization (permission to say 'no') to BFN (busy for nothing) activities not aligned to the 3 strategic priorities for productivity
